Bob Jacobi and I did a great all day outreach event at McConnell Middle yesterday, so I  was unable to capture images.  Today clear Skies, with great seeing.  Solar activity is Very Low again with no flares.  We have four regions and the total Spot area has reduced from 370 millionths yesterday to 190 today.  Total spots reduced from 17 to 15.  Today I tried a capture the Sun using the ASI174MM and the SVC80 without focal reducer and the Sun now just seems to cover the height of the chip.  Might use that on Monday with the Mercury transit.  Today images in the three wavelengths as well as clos ups in Ha and CaK.
