Clear skies with terrific seeing before the clouds came back !  The Sun is pretty much featureless today, except for a faint high latitude filament in the NE quadrant and a small prom on the NW limb. Spend a little more time today with the 430nm filter on the SVC80.

Another clear sky session with good seeing.  Today the proms were very faint, so did not even try to capture them.  AR2732 is still visible with 30 millionths but I believe this will be the last day.  The new eastern area is still there but no spots have developed.   Today have some full disk images as well as a few closeups, one with a new 430nm filter, which I really got for the C11 at some better seeing days.

Finally after 10 days the clouds and rain moved out, but the seeing was below average. This is the result of the Jetstream.  AR2732 is ready to turn to the far side, but it looks like a new area might show at the Eastern limb.  We also have a few small proms at the NW as well as the SW limbs. The close ups are far from great, but capturing these areas documents what’s happening.
