2022 December 30 Sun - Solar surface in white-light, with AR13169, AR13170, AR13171, AR13172, AR13173, AR13174, AR13175, AR13176, AR13177, AR13178, AR13179 and possible AR1318a.

AR13169 is located at (N23W86). The greater part of AR13169 has turned to the backside, leaving just 1 or 2 sunspots embedded in faculae.
AR13170 is located at (S19W88). No sunspot is observed, leaving just patches of faculae.
AR13171 is located at (N23W67). About 4 sunspots are observed, all embedded in faculae.
AR13172, appears at (S36W36). About 3 sunspots, embedded in faculae, are observed.
AR13173 is located at (N25W18). About 5 sunspots, embedded in faculae, are observed. The leading sunspot comes with penumbra.
AR13174 appears at (N23W61). No sunspot is observed, leaving just patches of faculae.
AR13175, appears at (S20E01). Nothing is visible.
AR13176, appears at (N19E22). About 17 sunspots are observed. All are embedded in faculae, and come with penumbra and split umbra.
AR13177 appears at (S18E56). At least 5 sunspots with penumbra and split umbra are observed. All are embedded in faculae.
AR13178 is located at (S03W72). About 5 sunspots, all embedded in faculae, are observed.
AR13179 is located at (N13W13). About 8 sunspots are observed.
Meanwhile, a new AR possibly AR1318a, is located at (N19E85). 3 sunspots, embedded in faculae, come with penumbra. Judging from the wide separation in latitude, this may be 2 AR's but too early to make conclusion.
