An early session with clear and stable skies.  Solar Activity remains Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  Two Active Regions today AR2656 and 58.  Total Active Region Area for today remains 30 millionths and the sunspot count is at 4.  Some prominences have propped up again and today’s images include those on the NE limb.  In addition, the images show the filaments as well as some not named areas in addition to the regular full disk images.

Another day with clear skies and great seeing.  Solar Activity remains Very Low at another spotless day, day 72.  However, it appears this will be the last one in this series.  A small spot is coming around the Eastern limb, and the small pore from two days ago is returning as well.  I did have some problems at first with my WL image, but got the issue resolved.  Did not see any prominences today.

Had limited time to image so had to process later.  We had clear Skies with great seeing.  Solar Activity remains at Very Low and the spotless day count is at 71.  Could not locate the small pore from the day before, but we had some nice prominences and a few (small) filaments. Today’s images include full disk images as well as the mentioned features.

Three days of all day outreach at a close by school this week.  So today the sky was great with great transparency and seeing.  We have had a few spotless days and today at spotless day 70 is not different, except for a little pore. Solar Activity remains Very Low with no spots and Active Region Areas.  Today’s image shows full disk images and close ups of a few solar areas of interest as well as a few very small prominences and filaments.

An early session with clear skies, but low seeing.  Solar Activity is still Very Low.     I could not make out any spots in WL, and in Ha only the remaining plage of AR2655 was visible. I do expect that tomorrow our spotless days count will increase again. Total Active Region Area for today is 20 millionths and we have a total of 1 sun spot. Full disk images today in all wavelengths, but the close ups were restricted to Ha and CaK.

Clear skies, with below average seeing.  Both regions are further decaying today.  Solar Activity remains Very Low and the Total Active Region Area is at 50 millionths and the total spot count is at 6 for a Wolf Number of 26.  Even the filaments have decayed further today and the Proms are mostly gone.  Full disk images today as well as close ups of the mentioned regions in the three wave lengths.

Clear skies, but poor seeing with 30mph wind gusts.  Solar Activity remains Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  AR2654 is further decaying and decreasing in size and AR2655 is increasing.  Total Active Region Area for today is 70 millionths and the total spot count is 11. In addition we have a small but nice filament as well as two nice prominences, one on each side of the Sun. Today again, full disk images as well as close ups of the mentioned areas.

Clear skies again before the weather changes.  Solar Activity remains Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  Two regions today AR2653 and 54 with a total Active Region Area of 70 millionths and the total spot count is at 5.  Full disk images today with close ups of the mentioned regions, filament, and an interesting “giraffe” prominence at the NW limb.

An early session with average seeing.  Solar Activity remains Very Low with no flares in the last two days.   Total Active Region Area for today is 20 millionths and the spot count is at 1 for AR2653. Full disk images as well as close ups of some plages, a nice prom and some filaments.

Clear Skies with good seeing today.  Solar Activity remains Very Low with no C-class flares in the last two days.  AR2651 and 53 keep decaying further and the total Active Region Area for today is 150 millionths while the total spot count is at 6.  A nice but small hedgerow prom is visible at the SW limb as well as a small and faint prom on the NW limb.  Full disk images today as well as close ups of the mentioned regions.
