Active area 921 appears to have developed even more when compared to yesterday. Today I counted 9 spots of varying sizes, at least one of which seemed to be developing a penumbra. Active area 922 was sill visible with a single small spot. |

Clear night but the sky was washed out by the light of a 75% (approx) waxing Moon. Despite the conditions I decided to get the 7x50 binoculars out to have a quick look for comet Swan. |

I swept around the general location of comet
Swan with the 7x50
binoculars but failed to find it. This wasn't that
surprising given how washed out the sky was. I struggled to see
the Keystone in
