The Sun on July 8. 2022

 I have been traveling for a couple of weeks and I have returned to a cloudy, rainy, but warm NC. I did mange an image of the Sun though a gap in the clouds, and here it is. The disc shows several active areas which appear to be growing rapidly. AR 3053, towards the edge of the disc at the bottom, has the potential to produce M-Class flares.
