The Dutch Observatory

I spend some time putting together a composite, showing how the morphology evolved for the two areas AR2565 and AR2567 between July 11th and July 24th, when they were visible for us during Carrington Rotation 2179.  The composition shows the Active Regions as seen filtered in 540nm as well as Ha. The thumbnail is quite fuzzy, so click the full sized icon above the image to see the full resolution image.

Another clear morning with average seeing on the last day of Carrington Rotation 2180.  Solar Activity is still Very Low with no C-class flares in the last two days.  AR2580 as well as AR2581 are picking up in size while AR2579  is getting smaller.  Total active Region Area today is at 120 millionths with a total spot count of 9.  Today’s images include the usual full disk images as well as close ups in the three wavelengths.  Also to note today are some nice small filaments in the Ha images.
