Just noticed it was going to be clear for a while and set up the Ha scope. Really great activity today on the surface (couple of kind of no-big-deal proms too). Catch a look if you've got the gear and can find a hole in the clouds to look through. For those who are interested in the details, there's a lot of really cool (huh!) stuff around ARs 12241 and 12242--and the rest of the sun seems to have more going on by quite a bit since I saw it last a few days back. (Although there was a flare in progress last time out--always neat to see.) Happy Solstice and associated Holidays to all, John
