Solar Activity is Low today with two C-class flares in the last two days.  We have four regions today with a total active region area of 250 millionths of which AR2565 accounts for 220.  AR2565 is changing from a Cao to a Dro on the McIntosh scale and started producing some additional spots between 0300 and 0600 UT.  Total spot count today is 14.  Today’s images are full disk images as well as close ups.  For some I used the DMK41 since the ASI174MM did act up a little, but later worked fine again. Both the NE as well as the NW limb showed a nice prominence.
