Default elusive sun

After a perfect partial last Monday morning from SW London the sun
refuses to peek through constant cloudcover 'till this morning
[Saturday] but even then through haze.

One small sunspot group #813 with little prom activity but fair one on
NW limb. A very long filament [1/3 solar diameter] stretches from
west limb towards the disk centre and includes a strong check-mark or
tick feature as http://home.freeuk.com/m.gavin/pstnew.htm soon.

Are your coordinates correct, or is it my ancient AutoRoute?

I have 51N 0.1W as Haywards Heath, which is almost due south of London
and nearer to Brighton than the M25.

You were very lucky with the eclipse; we had ten minutes of it at Hyde
Park. So where are you?

It's raining here...

Helen - my coords are wrong but near enough when comunicating [mostly timed solar stuff] with fellow observers overseas ;-). My website www.astroman.fsnet.co.uk names my location.
