Was able to have another Solar session in average seeing.  The Sun looks great with 5 active regions.  AR2783 will be leaving the visible disk soon, as well as the plage from AR2784.  Both AR2785 and 6 and 7 have shown some activity over the last day, but have not changed in size much. AR2786 did loose some area since the 26th, when it was 1000 millionths.   I checked back in my database, and it has been since 9/8 and 9/9/2017 since we had an area that covered an area of 1000 or larger of the visible solar hemisphere.  This was when AR2673 reached 1000 and 1060 millionths.  That’s over 3 years ago.  This is well shorter than the the same time for the previous Solar minimum.  Today full disk images again and close ups of some of the regions.
