Fast moving clouds with bad seeing.  Solar Activity is Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  AR2578 is still hanging in there as an Axx area with a size of 10 millionths and 2 sunspots.  Seeing was so bad this morning that I only resorted to full disk images in the three wavelengths and did try the DMK41 also, which performed worse than the ASI174, but I did crop out AR2578 in CaK.

Variable and relative slow moving clouds, but openings big enough for my usual imaging session.  Solar Activity is still Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  The AR2574 and 76 groups are getting ready to move to the far side of the Sun.  AR2578 is still persisting with 20 millionths.  Total active region area for today is 130 millionths and the spot count at 6.  Today full disk images and close ups of the mentioned regions.

Clear Skies again with average seeing.  Solar Activity is still Very Low with no C-class flares in the last two days.  Four regions today again with AR2575 dropping out and the total Active Region Area decreasing to under 200 millionth. The total spot count is at 9.  A nice filament shows in the NE quadrant, and two proms show on the Western limb, while the Eastern limb shows one. Images include full disk images as well as close ups of the regions and plages in the three wavelengths.

Scattered clouds with average seeing this morning.  Solar activity is Very Low with no C-Class flares in the last two days. Today we have four Active regions with a total Active Region area of 220 millionths and a total of 16 Sun spots.  All the regions decreased in size with the exception of AR2575 which stayed at 10 millionths and 3 spots.  Today’s images include full disk images and close ups of the regions in different wavelengths.  Also note the nice filaments spread over the surface and the nice prominences at the NW limb of the full disk Ha image.

Clear this morning with average seeing.  After disappearing for a day, AR2575 came back today as a Bxo spot with a size of 10 millionths, while the new region AR2578 near the Eastern limb was 30.  Solar Activity today is Low with two C-class flares in the last two days.  Total Active Region Area is 290 millionths and the spot count is 18.

Clear Skies with good seeing this morning.  Solar Activity is low with two C-class flares in the last two days.  AR2574 gained a little in size as well as one more sunspot.  Total active regions area decreased today to 350 millionths and the total spot count today is 16.  Today’s images include full disk images in all three wavelengths as well as close ups of the reported active regions.  The full disk Ha image shows a very nice and large but dim prominence at the Eastern Limb.

Had the time to process the images from July 31 today, after two weeks of not having reliable internet access.  The images from the 31st  show AR2570 while the total active region for the Sun was 10 millionth with one Sunspot.
