Solar Imaging Session - March 7, 2011 (Now 5 Sunspot Groups!!!)

The sky this morning is slightly hazy but seeing is again very good. There are now 5 sunspot groups that are visible on the surface of the Sun! AR11164 and AR11166 Sunspot Group continues to be photogenic while AR11165 Sunspot Group started to grow in structure but is now nearing the SW limb :( AR11165 Sunspot Group also shows a very bright solar flare from its center core and is now also starting to exit to the SW limb.

In Ha wavelength, not much prominences is visible except for a few small groups. New AR11169 Sunspot Group looks promising to grow in size near the NE limb but I doubt this will develop like what AR11164 Sunspot Group is not showing.

Of all the 5 sunspot groups, only AR11167 Sunspot Group is very small and very inconspicious for the meantime :(
