I captured this panorama through brief gaps in the cloud cover today. I didn't have time to tune the etalons in the scope for the best detail and contrast, but the images provide a useful record of solar activity today. ARs 3014 and 3017 have the potential for M-Class flares, but they are disapperaring over the Sun's limb. None of the other Active Regions seem to have the potential to flare.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
