The Dutch Observatory

Clouds were streaking though the sky during my observing session today.  Transparency as well as Seeing today 3/10 .  Solar activity is Low with two C-class flares in the last two days.  AR2552 is increasing at 140 millionths.  However, a new region has turned into our view which was not there yet at UT 0.  This is a nice sized region, is not named yet, and is the beginning of a series of regions that will turn into our view in the next week.  I will be making a separate post of that later today. Three full disk images today and a close up of both of the regions in the different wavelengths.

Clear Skies again Seeing at 7/10.  AR2552 has continued to grow and is now 20 millionths.  It contained 5 sunspots and even produced a C-1.4 flare making the Solar activity Low.  A few nice prominences at the Western limb.  Today full disk images and close ups of AR2552 in all wave lengths I observe in as well as the NW prom.

Clear Skies today with seeing at 7/10.  The Sun is getting a little more active and produced a second B-class flare (B2.3) this morning, but not enough to raise the activity level from Very Low to Low.  One active region today AR2552 with two sunspots, but a very small in size of 10 millionths.  Today full disk images and close ups of AR2552 as well as a nice prominence at the Western limb.

Another day without Sunspots and active regions.  However, early this morning the Sun produced a B1.6 class flare at S23E32 breaking its silence since June 1st..  Despite this, the Solar Activity will remain Very Low. Full disk images today showing some nice filaments and a few small proms at the Western limb.  Some close ups in Ha and one in CaK today.

Intermittent clouds with seeing at 4/10.   Wow, the first day with no Active Regions or Sunspots to report!  The last C-class flare was on May 30th so Flare activity is also Very Low.  However a few filaments and a Prom can be seen at the NW limb.  So today full disk images with a few close ups in Ha.

Clear Skies with seeing 5/10.  Solar activity is Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  We barely have two active regions with a total area of 100 millionth.  Total sunspot count today is at 7.  So my close ups of AR2550 and 52  don’t show much. However the Ha full disk  image shows some nice filaments and the CaK still shows some activity.

Clear Skies, getting ready for some thunderstorms in the PM.  Seeing 6/10.  Solar activity is at Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  Three very small active regions with a total area of 60 millionths.  Ten Sunspots today, but the CaK image shows some nice plages and a  nice prominence extended from a filament in the NE Quadrant. Full disk images and close ups of the regions as well as the prom.
