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.

Clear skies with good seeing this morning.  Both AR2806 and AR2807 did not show any activity so solar activity levels are back to Very Low.  Both regions are also decaying some more.  The nice thing to report was a number of prominences around the solar disk in the full disk Ha image.

Clear skies this morning for a change.  After a spotless day, yesterday, we have again two active regions in the Southern hemisphere AR2806 and AR2807.  They cover an area of 10 and 20 millionths and have a total spot count of 8.  In addition, a nice filament is seen in the Northern hemisphere.  Full disk images today and close ups of the mentioned areas in the three wavelengths.

Clear skies this morning with mostly average seeing.  The leading spot from AR2804 has increased a little while the trailing spots did decay some.  AR2805 ha continued its decay.  Today full disk images as well as close ups of AR2804 and AR2805 in the three wavelengths, as well as the plage AR2803 in Ha and CaK.

Clear and stable skies, but my website acted up.  Since my last post, AR2803 has developed and again decayed to a plage and we see two new areas AR2804 and Ar2805, one in the Northern hemisphere and one in the South.  AR2805 is already decaying, but AR2804 has added some trailing spots since yesterday.  In general, the Sun is Very Quiet.  Today, full disk images as well as close ups of AR2804 and AR2803 and an Ha closeup of the remaining plage of AR2803.

Clear skies this morning.  AR2803 has decayed some, but remains visible in all wavelengths.  In addition to yesterday’s prom in the NE, today, we see a nice prom in the SW.

Clear skies with average seeing. AR2802, which showed for one day near the Western limb, has decayed to a plage, but a new area AR2803 has developed near the NE limb. The area is very good noticeable in all wavelengths as well as two nice proms.  Today full disk images as well as close ups of the new area.

It feels like forever since I had my last imaging session, but the clouds are gone at least for a few days?  The Sun has been spotless since my last session and continues today, one day before the end of rotation 2240.  However a few nice filaments are  visible in the southern hemisphere and some proms at the Eastern limb.
