Another clear day until the rain returns tomorrow.  Seeing 8/10.  Solar activity is again Low, this time with no flares in the last two days.  AR2506 has almost doubled its size again and is now 110 millionths out of a total of 120.  Total sunspot count today is at 18.  AR2508 is popping up and does show nicely already.  AR2507 has disappeared at the Western limb, leaving only two regions on the hemisphere.  Today three full disk images and close ups of AR2506, as well as a close up of the filaprom at the NE limb.

Clear skies and pretty stable skies today. Seeing  9/10.  The further we are getting on the way to the Solar low, the less activity we see.  Todays Solar activity is Low because there only was one C-class flare in the last two days.  The Sun only produced 3 B-class flares today.  Active Region AR2506 doubled its size to 60 millionths and has now been upgraded to a Cro from a Dai on the McIntosh scale.  The two Sunspots on the Sun cover today a total Active Region Area of 70 millionth with 17 sunspots.  Three full disk images today and close ups of AR2506 in three wavelengths.  In addition, I was able to bring the C11 out for an additional close up of AR2506 with the continuum filter.
