Always clouded out when there is a huge AR, so made up for it today
with an early image and look like a good day, but typically it clouded
over soon after the only image of the day.

First safety shot today was the only one today, so here is cloudy early Sun.
None of the sunspots on the sun's visible disk pose a threat for flares. However, during the next 24 hours, a much more active sunspot is expected to appear over the sun's SE limb. It could be the return of old sunspot complex AR12172-AR12173.

Yet another hazy gap waiting day, spot count low but I spy a new AR on the limb....
Sunspot AR12182 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. However, the sunspot is quiet and does not seem inclined to erupt.
