Solar flare activity should remain low

The solar disk, as seen to me through clear Arizona skies. The Sun is peppered with sunspot groups--at least nine. All of them have stable magnetic fields unlikely to explode. Solar flare activity should remain low this weekend

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 12.5 mm eyepiece. I am proud of this dedicated solar telescope as I made it myself around a used Jagers objective lens, bought on e-bay that had damaged coatings. A Moon Lite focuser, a Baader Planetarium Herschal Wedge. It has become my favorite telescope for sunspots!
