Clear skies with good seeing.  No spots today, so we reached another milestone in the transition from Solar Cycle 24 to Cycle 25.  We now recorded spotless day 300.  The filaments on the Southern hemisphere really look nice and today we also still have the small prom on the SSW limb, but other than that….. its quiet…

Clear skies with excellent seeing this morning.  AR2723 has pretty much arrived at the Western limb. Its plage can still slightly be seen in CaK but I did not notice it in WL or Ha. The filaments still show nicely  and a small prom shows at the SW limb. Total Active Region Area for today is 10 millionths containing 1 spot.

Clear skies with good seeing today.  AR2723 has been decaying and is a lot smaller.  Still no flaring while the area moves toward the western limb.  The region is 10 millionths and contains 2 spots.  The southern filament still looks nice and in addition we see a small prominence at the western limb.

Clear skies with good seeing.  Other than the B1.1 flare from yesterday, AR2723 has not produced any other flaring events.  It seems to stay stable with an area of 30 millionths containing 3 spots.  Today we still saw the filaments observed earlier as well as a very faint and small prom at the ESE limb.

Clear skies with average seeing.  The activity I observed on the 29th developed some growing  pores which were named the next day as AR2723.  Its size developed from 10 to 30 millionths and now contains 4 spots.  Today’s images show the full disk images with close ups in the three wavelengths of AR2723 as well as two filaments and a nice prom at the NE limb. Today was the first day where some flaring was reported. So far only one B1.1 flare.
