All Sunspots have stable magnetic fields

The solar disk as seen to me this morning is once again, peppered with sunspot groups! All eight of them, however, have stable magnetic fields that are unlikely to explode. Solar flare activity should therefore remain low this weekend.
Again, all of these sunspots have stable magnetic fields that are unlikely to produce strong solar flares.
103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL @ prime focus. 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!
