That large sunspot AR 3190 is now nearing the western limb of the Sun and is not as large but still very active and could pose quite a risk with X-ray solar flares.

All those other smaller sunspots have dispersed and the other side of the solar surface is looking very quite and spotless, hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to set up the LUNT solar telescope to take some picture in (Ha). There may be some active prominences on the limb…how exciting :-)
Images taken with a Canon 70D camera and a Canon 100-400mm lens with a 2x teleconverter attached making a focal length of 1280mm.
An Orion glass solar filter was fitted to the lens for safe imaging and viewing of the Sun. Twenty images were captured with 1/500th second exposures and ISO100, pictures were stacked in RegiStax6 and processed in PS CS4.
