Solar active regions

Just had a chance to use my new H-Alpha set up and there is plenty of activity on the Solar disk at the present. Active regions that produced the big flares are once again coming into view showing much detail. In addition there were several large and bright prominences on the receding limb. Once I figure out a good way to sketch the sun in H-Alpha I will post the observations. I could use some tips from anyone experienced sketching in H-Alpha as there is SO much detail that I dont know where to begin.
