Clear skies this morning with good seeing conditions.  AR2719 and AR2720 are moving closer to the Western limb and are smaller today.  Total Active Region Area for the day is 70 millionths with a total number of sunspots of 6.  The magnetogram shows that the polarity of AR2720 is not lined up with Solar Cycle 24 spots, but reverse which indicates that this might be a Cycle 25 spot.  This however is not the first such spot.  The first Cycle 25 spot was observed on December 20, 2016, and was named AR2620.  A full 100 spots, and 18 months ago.
