No threat for strong flares from these sunspots

Pounding rain overnight here in Sedona, Arizona. But the rain departed reveling partly cloudy skies. Thia was enough to view the photosphere of our nearest Star in white light.
This morning the Sun displayed four sunspots on the solar disk. However, all of these sunspots have stable magnetic fields that pose no threat for strong flares.

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 60D camera. 650 FL 20 mm Clave eyepiece.
