Last night solen.info reports a new high latitude feature with reversed polarity – an emerging spot.
A bipolar reversed polarities region emerged at a high latitude and was located at N70E03 at midnight. No spots have been observed so far.
Overnight talkshop contributors ‘project722′ and Bill McKintyre reported the spot as definite.

I see a clearly defined but small reversed polarity spot center disk at high latitude. We should start seeing more of these if the polar fields have reversed. |

don’t like to barge in here but there is a tiny negative sunspot just under its north pole – – a rare sighting that some people here might like to see (and record as souvenir). sdo image date 2012-11-30 06:16:12 UT |
Is this a signal that solar maximum for cycle 24 has been reached? Time will tell.
