Solar Imaging Session - January 6, 2013 (Huge AR11640 Sunspot Group)

The sky this morning is partly clear but seeing is not that good. I was able to do my usual Ha imaging routine and lots of activities on the surface of the Sun in Ha wavelength. More than 14 sunspot groups are on the Sun's disk today!!! There are lots of long dark filaments as well as huge hedgerow prominences!!! It was a very nice imaging session as I had to do several overlaps of areas just to fill in all the visible active details on the Sun. But clouds started to cover the sky after I started to do white light imaging thus I was only able to image the huge departing AR11640 Sunspot Group only :(
