Hi all!!

The clouds finally sort of cleared up here about 4pm local time, so I decided to give the sun a shot. The image is very average, but I can sure see that the group has gotten more complex. It is supposed to be clear tomorrow, so with luck the seeing will cooperate. Also, there is a large group on the back of the sun that is supposed to make it's appearance by Saturday or so....something to look out for!
