Seeing was below average this morning.  Solar Activity remains Very Low with no flares reported in the last two days. The Active Region AR2721 is hardly visible today in WL and looks more like a small pore measuring only 10 millionths.  However is still very bright in Ha and CaK.  I wonder if it will still be named tomorrow.  In addition, a few prominences are visible as well as a very small filaprom.

Clear skies this morning with average seeing conditions.  Solar Activity remains Very Low, but we do have a new named Active Region AR2721, which started forming yesterday. It covered an area of 10 millionths and the spot count is 6 for a Wolf Number of 16.  This is after a 10 day spotless streak.  In addition, the NE prom is still nicely visible but the SW prom from yesterday has mostly turned around the edge.

Clear skies with average seeing this morning.  Solar Activity remains Very Low with no flares in the last two days.  Around 5 UT this morning, a few very small pores started popping up which were very noticeable at the time of my observations.  In addition we have some nice prominences at the NE and SW limbs for another day.  Full disk images today in the three wavelengths with close ups of the mentioned regions.

Clear skies after a few cloudy days.  Solar  Activity is still Very Low on spotless day 281, although the Sun produced an A2 flare yesterday.  Filaments have mostly disappeared but a few remnants still can be observed.  However, a very nice Prom, which was one of the nice filaments of a few days ago, is shown on the SW limb. So it is still worth to get your scope out!

A challenging imaging session this morning. Lots of clouds with mostly below average seeing. The Sun is real quiet today. A few filaments can still be seen and the same proms at the NW and SE limbs from yesterday can still be seen.

Mostly over casted skies with below average seeing conditions. Solar Activity remains at Very Low with no activity over the last two days.  A few scattered filaments of which I captured one near the Southern limb and two prominences at he NW and SW limb. Otherwise the Sun is quiet on spotless day 276.

Clear skies with good seeing.  No reported Solar activity in the last two days. The Sun is really quiet.  A few faint filaments can be observed and two proms.  One at the NW limb and a real faint one at the SE limb.  A few faint light areas can also be seen at the Eastern limb in WL and CaK.
