Overall this Solar Max has been pretty disappointing. But occasionally the Sun as shown brief bursts of good activity
over the last week, and for a few more days, there has been a large sunspot group traversing the solar face.
AR2403 is a massive spot group and one of the largest this solar max. But it hasn't been overly active in the flare production department. So far 6 x M class flares, the largest being a M 5.6
Here's a pic I took yesterday 25 Aug 2015
800mm ( 400mm and 2x teleconverter), f11, ISO 250, 1/250th sec exp and a full aperture solar filter
was a bit of an act to get the shot as the sun came and went behind the thick rain clouds
cheers
