The Dutch Observatory

Another hot day, so my observing session starts right when the Sun clears the trees from my neighbor.  The Spotless spell continues, and so does the lack of C-class flares resulting in another Very Low Solar activity for today.  A fellow observer did report some pores yesterday, but today they are gone, but another more substantiated pore at longitude 9 degrees popped up.  The group of filaments is starting to reach the Western limb, but it still is  a nice display.  Full disk images today and close ups of some areas on the Sun as well as a small close up of today’s pore.
