Sky this Week

White light solar image of NOAA region 11024 from about 3 pm this afternoon. The principal spot (on right) appears to have split since yesterday. Follower spot (on left) has grown a fair amount. Most of the nterior spots between leader and follower have disappeared. So solar fans, what is the McIntosh classification for this region today? (yesterday it was Eai).

Image taken with Nexstar11 scope with DMK21AU04.AS video camera (1/10000 sec at 60 fps) at cassegrain focus. Aligned & stacked with Registax5. Clear skies, temp. 93F, 5mph wind, turbulence about 6/10.
