Finally after 7 days, the skies are clear again.  We only have one remaining Active Region, AR2812.  However, the plage of the old AR2811 is also nicely visible in Ha and CaK.  So today full disk images as well as close ups of the mentioned regions in Ha and CaK and AR2812 in 540nm.

Clear skies with average seeing.  The new area that rotated into view, shown in my CaK image from two days ago, was named yesterday AR2811.  Today another area is rotating in view and it contains a spot larger than the leading spot of AR2811.  I expect this area to be named later today.  Also, SWPC reports that AR2811 showed some B-class flares this morning.

Clear and sunny skies with good seeing this morning during my session at approx. 5 hours after the vernal equinox .  AR2810 has decayed some in the trailing spots but has otherwise not shown any activity.  A new plage is barely visible at the NE limb in CaK, but no indication yet if a spot is associated with the area.  Today full disk images and close ups of the mentioned areas.

Broken clouds this morning and some equipment problems made me to have to short cut my session.  Today only WL and Ha images.  AR2810 remains stable and is nicely visible at 200 millionths. A small prom can also be seen at the SE limb.

Clear skies this morning with average seeing.  The region I imaged in the Southern hemisphere in CaK on the 10th, was named AR2809 yesterday morning, but it was short lived as it decayed already to a plage.  AR2808 decayed also a bit in the leading spot, so for most solar activity is Very Low.  Today full disk images and close ups in the three wavelengths.

Clear skies, but the seeing was poor.  Earlier in the day, AR2808 did produce a C1 class flare raising the Solar activity to Low.  Close-up images today of AR2808 and the plage/faculae of AR2807.  I realized during my CaK imaging that some new pores/spots might have evolved, but yet un-named in the plage visible in the SE quadrant.  So only a close-up of this area in CaK.

Clear skies this morning.  AR2806 has decayed to a plage just before it turns to the far-side of the Sun, and AR2807 has reemerged but it is barely visible.  A new area has rotated in view and is visible near the NE limb.  The area was named AR2808 this morning and the Wilson effect is very nicely visible in the 540nm close up image.  Full disk images today as well as close ups of the regions of interest.

Clear skies with average seeing conditions.  Although AR2806 remains the only area containing spots, a number of other plages can be observed, as well as a number of prominences.  So today, in addition to the full disk images, close ups of some proms and a filaprom at the SE limb as well as the plages visible in Ha and CaK.

Clear skies with below average seeing.  Today we see that AR2806, which disappeared for one day, has re-emerged.  I did not see AR2807 in 540nm, but the plage is well noticeable in Ha and CaK, as well as the plage of the area near the NE limb. Full disk images today with close ups of the mentioned areas.

Clear skies this morning!  Both Regions continued to decay to the point where AR2806 became a plage.  An interesting observation can be seen in the full disk Ha image at the NE limb, where some very small flaring shows against the background at the limb of the disk. Fort he rest, the Sun’s solar activity remains Very Low.
