It's essentially cloudy, transparency is like 1/10, the sky is all white, and we have a very dim deep orange color sunshine. Seeing is like 4/10, actually, quite hard to evaluate. There's not much prominences detectable. Several small active regions (AR994, 995 and 996) can be seen despite the very poor transparency which washed out most detail.
