Happy New Year Everyone!

As the clouds are slowly departing from Ontario Canada, we might actually see the sun. I can see from NOAA and Spaceweather there is still a sunspot AR11039 appearing in the lower southern hemisphere.

As this Solar Cycle 24 starts to come alive, lets hope for clear observing conditions.

I also urge you all to send in your solar observations to the Solar ALPO Coordinator at Kim.Hay@alpo-astronomy.org so these can be archived for use by researchers and amateur solar observers.

Please include the time in UT Time, orientation of North at the top (for images) type of equipment used, location. Please see the page on ALPO Report forms . Remember to join the ALPO Solar Email group on Yahoo.
