Transparent and clear skies today with good seeing! Another spotless day. (Day 50)  Solar Activity remains Very Low.  Today full disk images as well as close ups of the East and West limbs of the Sun.

After two days of clouds and rain clear skies with good transparency and average seeing.  No Sun spots today and yesterday.  That makes today the 49th spotless day since solar maximum and continues the solar activity of Very Low.  Today full disk images as well as some close ups of the W and E limbs of the Sun with some interesting plasma activity in the West Quad image near the limb.

Clear and transparent skies this morning with average seeing.  The jet stream did move on for a few days.  So, we had to have another spotless day.  This is the 47th spotless day since Solar Max.  Despite this, some pores were still visible in WL and some plages remained.  Solar Activity remains Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  Full disk images and finally a few close ups of higher quality than the last weeks or months.

Clear and very transparent skies, but the seeing was bad. Still three Active Regions today with a total Area of 100 millionths, and the spot count is at 6.  With the given seeing condition it is hard to make out any region in WL.  In Ha and CaK one can see the plages.  Images today of the mentioned regions as well as full disk images.  Also the ALPO gallery site is still affected by the network outage of a section of the Amazon cloud.

Clear skies with strong winds, and wind gusts up to 35 mph, making the seeing bad.  Solar Activity remains Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  Four active regions remain while AR2638 is turning rapidly to the Western limb.  Total Active Region Area for today is 120 millionths and the spot count is at 12.  Images today in the three wavelengths.

Clear skies but poor seeing with strong winds today.  Had to image in the PM with heat rising from the roof of the house.  Solar Activity is Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  We have four active regions, AR2638, 40,41 and 42.  Sunspots keep persisting although the remain small.  Images today in all wavelengths.
