Clear Skies this morning and used all my scopes for solar imaging, including the C11.  Flare activity on the Sun is very low again with no flares in the last two days.  Total Sunspot area covers 270 millionths over 23 Sunspots.   Active regions have increased to 6, AR2389, 90, 91, 92, 93 and 94.  Full disk images in H-alpha as well as WL/Continuum on the SVC80 and the C11.  Two close ups also in CaK with the PST.

Thin clouds were interfering again during the session.  Was unable to capture H-a close-ups.  The Sun is low in flare activity with no flares in the last two days.  Three active regions with a total of 200 millionths covered by 26 Sunspots.  However the plages shown in CaK around  HARP4288, 92, 94 and 97 look very impressive (to the right of AR2391) , while Prom activity is also low.

Had to image this morning through a deck of thin clouds.  So limited session to a full disk image in WL/Continuum and H-alpha as well as a close up of AR2390 in WL/Cont.  The Sun now shows three registered Active Regions 2389, 90 and 91 with a total of 240 millionths spot area and 23 sunspots. Flare activity low with no flares in the last two days.

Relative stable skies, so I captured some images in all three wavelengths I have equipment for.  Ha with the SM40, WL/Continuum with the SVC80 as well as the C11 and CaK with the PST-CaK.  The Sun showed low flare activity with only one C-Class flare in the last two days.  Two active regions AR2389 and 90 with a total spot area of 190 millionths distributed over 18 sun spots.  The images show a full disk for all wavelenths and closeups of AR2389 and 90 in two while I also captured HARP4288, 92, 94 and 97 in CaK.

Mixed clouds today so conditions were not that great (Seeing 6/10)  Today 2 Sunspots AR2389, and 90 with a total spot area of 130 millionths.  Flare activity is low with one C-Class flare reported in the last two days.  Today an H-a full disk image, as well as a white light/Continuum filtered image, and a close up of AR2390 in WL/Continuum.

This morning a chain of clouds.  It took me a while to find two holes big enough for a White light and H-alpha full disk image.  The Sun is real quiet today and it looks like it has no sunspots.  But not quite yet.  AR2386 and 88 are still there even though they are almost pores at 20 millionths each.  Total Sunspot area is 40 millionths, 7 Sunspots and flare activity is medium with 6 C-Class flares in the last two days.

A quiet Sun again today.  Two regions, AR2386, and 87, with 19 Sunspots total, covering 160 millionths.  No C-class or better flares in the last two days, only a few B-Class flares.  The seeing was not that good this morning either, I captured only two full disk images, one H-alpha and a white light continuum filtered.

The Sun through thin clouds this morning, but the seeing was still OK 5/10 to capture some images.  Today full disk images in WL/Continuum and H-alpha as well as close ups of some of the regions as marked on the images.  The Sun shows 4 Active Regions today with a total sunspot count of 12 spots covering 310 millionths.  Flare activity is low today with one C-class flare in the last two days.

Clear now, but clouds soon.  Today’s Sun shows three active regions, AR2384, 86 and 87 with a total of 10 sunspots covering 190 millionth, and this is again a day with very low flare activity and again, no flares in the last two days.  Today a H-alpha full disk image as well as a full disk image in white light film/continuum.

A few degrees cooler today, but the seeing is still as it was last night: Not good. 5/10  Only full disk images today in H-alpha and White-light/Continuum.  The Sun is quieting down with 3 Active Regions, 2381 , 84,and 86 and 6 Sunspots today, covering a total of 280 millionths.  Flare activity is also very low with no flares in the last two days.  The large filament has degraded a bit, but still shows nicely circling across.
