Clear Skies today until I started capturing in Ha, that’s when the clouds started to arrive.  The Sun’s activity is still very low with no C-class flares in the last two days.  The two active regions 2480 and 83 are slowly decaying further, but the dark filament in the NE quadrant has gotten a small companion. Conditions were not good so the images are accordingly.  Total Spot Region  area for the Sun is at 280 millionths with each area accounting for half.  Total Sunspot count getting lower and is down from 9 to 6.
