Active Region 1944 keeps shrinking and is a lot less active than two days ago.  It now is 1030 millionth and produced only 1 flare in the previous 24 hours.  Still, the Sun is very beautiful with all the active regions and spots.  Today, I imaged 1944 through two color filters in addition to the visible light filter, red, and green.  The green filter brings out the regions better than the red does. (lighter regions).  Also I am pretty happy with the granulation through my 80mm Stellarvue. :-) also on the image of 1949.  The full disk image shows 9 active regions today.
