Active Region A 3363 /PST 40 / 8mm eyepiece / 50 X / Pencil on paper. July 17th 14:00 UT - 15:00 UT . Windy conditions with high cirrus cloud. Killadoon ,Co Mayo Ireland. A welcome break in the weather here offered me a look at A3363. However with lots of high cirrus clouds I wasn't sure if I would get a clear view. Therefore I decided to use pencil on paper instead of my usual pastel drawing. Eventually I managed this drawing in-between cloud gaps. I liked the shape of the Active Region. The negative shapes are the bright areas. Then at 15:43 two intensely bright areas developed above the sunspot. So I added them in white pastel to make them stand out. No really clear view of the sunspot but in general the area was active with some delicate proms. One had a very round end .
