 Solar
            activity at this time is very low for white light observers,
            with only one tiny sunspot. However in the light of Hydrogen
            Alpha, we have much more detail to see, and today not only is
            that one eye like spot seen with plenty of magnetic details around
            it, two huge proms are on the suns limb! Here is the photo pictorial.
