Clear Skies after the rain.  Seeing 8/10.  Yesterday AR2526 still showed up with 150 millionths, but today AR2528 is the only Active Region visible and its size is 20 millionths, however, the Sun produced two C-class flares in the last 24 hours, making the solar activity Low.  The total Active Region size for the hemisphere is 20 millionths, three spots, and AR2528 has gone from a Cro to a Dro on the McIntosh scale.  Today three full disk images and close ups of the only active region, as well as a close up of the Eastern Limb.

Clear and good seeing 9/10.  However, the Sun was kind of quiet today.  It now has been over a week since we had a C-class flare, so the activity is Very Low.  AR2526 is getting ready to disappear to the far side of the Sun and although it is still nicely seen in white light, in Ha it is another case and the prominences from the previous days are mostly gone.  Also, AR2527 was very short lived.  Today two Regions with a total active region size of 160 millionths and only three sunspots.  Full disk images today in the three wavelengths as well as close ups in various wavelengths.

Clear stable Skies!!  Seeing 8/10.  The Sun shows some more spot activity.  Three Active Regions today, AR2526, 27 and 28.  While AR2526 still is an Hsx, the new AR2528 shows some very small spots and with a size of 10 millionths is a Bxo on the McIntosh scale.  Total Active Region size today is 170 and the sunspots count today 7.  However, no C-class flares in the last two days. Today again full disk images in three wavelengths as well as close ups of the regions proms and filaments.

Clear Skies, but at times wind gusts caused some instability.  Seeing about 7/10. The Sun’s activity is Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  Only one Hsx sunspot on the solardisk measuring 190 millionths.  However, the filaments and prominences make up for the lack of solar activity.  Today a full disk image in three wavelengths as well as close ups of AR2526 and the proms and filaments.

A very clear but windy morning.  Seeing approx. 8/10.  AR2526 is still an Hsx on the McIntosh scale, but has decayed now to 180 millionths and supports only one sunspot, which are also the total for today.  It is getting quiet again.  The last C-class flare was 5 days ago so the solar activity is at Very Low.  However, the filament that showed so nice a few days ago now shows up as a nice prom at the SW limb and the Prom at the NE limb still shows very majestic.  Today full disk images in all three wavelengths, and also close ups of the mentioned areas.
