            is growing fast and is putting on a fine show! I was able to
            just get this set of images between thick clouds today, with
            terrible seeing of 1/5 and battling clouds. All images with the
            6 inch stopped to 4 inches.

 WHITE
            LIGHT:

            
Lets start
            with two prime focus images. this one highlights the center of
            the disk, and the big spot group.

            


            
 

            
This second
            image includes a smaller spot on the eastern limb.

            


            
 

            
Seeing
            was not good, but this shot with the 5x televue powermate does
            show some granulation and fairly good details.
