So "within" doesn't necessarily mean fully engulfed or encircled?  Surrounded on three sides is enough, then?  Or am I missing something?

Yeha. Spots of different polarity within the same penumbra

is that one a delta as it looks like its just the 2 penumbra's touching and the blue one isn't inside the reds penumbra

@mozy statement? 😳 

To me its a delta even though the penumbras are touching so yeah.. :D

The umbrea has to be in the opposite polarity penumbra to call it a delta. If only the penumbras had to touch, we would be seeing a lot more delta classifications. 😄

After looking at it for a while, I’m only seeing two spots that look like potential deltas. But they’re right on the edge.ED9A0991-2FCD-488A-BBAF-46D92A385072.thumb.jpeg.cc45c0103d342a48e8bfc89b89827eb2.jpeg

i can see a few more. but we will have to wait how they develop. yesterday it had a nice potential delta but that disappeared overnight.

It was on SWL. I spent a fair bit of time attempting to convince myself where the delta spots were, but ultimately could not be certain.

I guess we just have to keep watching.

Spots of opposite polarity inside the penumbral area. That's the rule, so if you applu it we have three deltas inside the region with a small but strong one (magnetic shear) and two big delta spots.

Peaking at M 5.6

Hm, looks like it took place between AR3014 & 3017? Now I'm confused.

it's attributed to 3017, which is an odd one as it's a simple region.
