Clear skies with average seeing.  The Active Region that was named yesterday as AR2764 did end the spotless streak, but did not make it through the day as it showed a size of zero at the end of yesterday. This ends the 5th spotless streak during this minimum of 30 or more spotless days.  I could not make out any spots in any of the wavelengths, but the plage is nicely visible in Ha and CaK as well as the faculae in WL.  In addition we do have a nice prominence at the NW limb. An other interesting fact today is that the International Spot number (RI) for May was the  lowest so far in this Solar Minimum with 0.2.  We have seen RIs with 0.5 and 0.4 this minimum, but this is the lowest.  However, it still does not match the RI of zero that we saw in the previous minimum.  Today full disk images, and close ups in Ha of the plage and the prom.
