9/24/2011.
I hauled the solar telescope around the house until I found unshaded territory (it's getting tougher as the sun migrates south) and then imaged AR 11302 while it threw M-flare after M-flare. The active region was so bright it was tough to photograph. Expose for the action and the rest of the Sun went dark. The image below is a single 300-frame clip processed twice, once for the AR and once for everything else:

9/27/2011. Three days on, AR 1302 has quieted down a bunch. Here it is as seen through steady air and high, thin cirrus:

9/28/2011: Clear and steady weather, AR1302 throwing C-flares and now and then a weak M-class event. Here's a mosaic of PGR Chameleon frames:
