An early observing session with seeing at 4-5/10.  Solar activity is Low today with four Active Regions and three C-class flares in the last two days.  Total active region area is down to 160 millionths.  Total sunspot count is at 17.  We can see what I believe are the remnants of AR2533 coming around the Eastern limb today.  I caught a nice little flare off the western limb today in CaK.  Today I practiced for the Mercury transit and decided to stick with the ASI174MM instead of the DMK.  Much shorter exposure times and transfers and the resolution is also better.  So today I am posting my ususal full disk images and close ups of the regions
