Telescope motor failed today (volunteering + scope went bananas)! 😭I managed to snap this shot showing new sunspots AR4283/4284 before it died. NOAA is tracking G1 storm chances today!

🔥 VOTE: Which is best?

Almost all the sunspots have rotated out of view! There is a small region on the right side. Perhaps more will rotate into view tomorrow.

Moar clear sky! Here are the images from today's Livestream. Live now ending around 15:30 Eastern.

The side facing us isn't very active, many sunspots have nearly rotated out of view. They may be gone by the end of the stream or tomorrow unless more move in.

Ignore the thumbnail, I'm working on a script for GIMP to generate the thumbnail and other images of the Sun automatically. It's almost ready!
