Sunday 4th July

Another day of intermittent cloud, however in the briefest of gaps I managed to get a full disk image.



The whirlpool spot is still there, as is the quiescent filament in the northern polar region. Not many proms of note today, however there were 2 bright areas of plage on the eastern limb either side of the equator. Plenty of small filaments aswell - the one to the east of the spot has the appearance of the silhouette of a seagull in flight.
