Hi Folks, Kinda late in the day to be mentioning it, but some good hydrogen-alpha light activity on the sun and one big enough sunspot that it's probably worth a look in white light (haven't done that myself). According to www.raben.com/maps, there's actually 2 active regions on the near side. I will have to look more carefully tomorrow. There were some good prominences late this afternoon also. So, if you have the gear, probably worth a look tomorrow. (The weather has been really frustrating: clear during the day but nothing going on with the sun; cloudy in the evening. But hoping to spot Mercury during this apparition and perhaps see the barely-past-new moon tomorrow evening.) I need to drag out and see the Cassiopeia nova in the morning. I saw it last month when it was at about magnitude 8.2; apparently it's brightened yet again. Happy observing! John
