Christmas 2019 - When Solar Cycle 25 Woke Up

The information from Solen says it all; on Christmas day I was able to observe the 2 active regions visually using a Daystar Quark where they were easily visible.  The chart above shows the magnetic signatures of cycle 25 are getting more prevalent.  Poor weather is forecast for me for the rest of the year so unlikely I will get to image or view until 2020, either way next year should be an exciting time for all things solar!
