Clear Skies early this morning, and had to hurry to setup before a solid front moved in.  I missed capturing a clear image of  the Sun by 5 minutes, so today an image I took of the Sun when the Sun was still behind the trees and the clouds started to roll in already.  Today’s Sun is a continuation of the run to very low activity.  Today the same number of active regions but the number of sunspots is reduced to 10 covering a mere 180 millionth.  However,  I have to say AR2282 was able to produce one C-class flare.  But the Sun shows very low activity in the last week and especially today.
