AR 3415

[tniickck]

and the second M-flare of this little "solar minimum" of August goes there

Was just gonna start one.  And its from a promising region as well. It hasn’t dealt out anything beyond low C so far.  Let’s hope it evolves!

I mentioned this one in the incoming regions thread. It does indeed look like it has a shared umbra so it appears to be a delta. Not a lot of complexity though. At least it finally popped an M class.

It is small as can be seen, but intense. 
I am still anticipating some more activity on the limb.  I’d love to know what happened to those apparently huge ARs that were caught by mastcam from Mars traversing the disc we cannot view from Earth presently!

Looks like different polarities in close proximity to me!  Haha!!  Let’s hope it continues to develop. 
as. @tniickck noted above it is getting boring on our side of the sun again.

Do I see reversed polarities in 3415😱?

I don't see how that would be the case. Looks like what you'd expect in the southern hemisphere, i.e. negative leading and positive trailing. Looks like one big delta for the time being though, that's something.

Amen on that @Philalethes   Jan agrees that this is easily the most magnetically complex region presently on our side.    I am surprised SWPC hasn’t classed this as BD yet.  Well it won’t stop it from spitting out an x class, I am pretty sure.  Haha.

we all can now see a lot of little sunspots grew outside of it in the last ≈15 hours

[hamateur 1953]

Yes noted that swpc now shows it as a BD. Hopefully it does something with that delta now.  At least it isn’t on the other side leaving us!!  Edit:  Looks like it shot its bolt with that m flare. Next candidate please.  😊

It looks like its leaving us now

I do see blue leading

To me it seems pretty clear that the negative (red) spot is leading; the leading spot is the rightmost one, while the trailing one (in this case the positive blue one) is the leftmost one.
