Another sunny day but bad seeing, so today only a full disk image.  AR2230 has grown to 100 mill. and the 8 sunspots now produced 13 C-class flares.

I was not able to image the sun until December 9th.  Today great weather with reasonable seeing conditions.  AR2230 became active with a size of 30 millionth, 5 sunspots and 8 C-Class flares.  AR2232 increased from 80 to 180 millionth and the same number of spots.  Today a full disk image with AR2222, 27, 30, 31, and 32 and an Ha close up of AR2230 while in the process of erupting a C6.2 flare.

Monday was clear but the seeing was not too good, so the WLC images did not come out as I would like, so I am not posting them.
Today, a full disk Ha image and a close up of around AR2222 which is at a size of 680 millionth.

Bright and calm skies today.  Today a full disk image as well as Ha and continuum filtered images.  AR2222 is 540 mil. and AR2218 shows at 140.  17 all C-class flares today and some nice proms.

Clear Skies and freezing this morning.  However, the sky is not stable enough for WLC close ups.  Today a full disk image and a close up of AR2216 and AR2222.  AR2216 still looks good at a size of 200, but AR2222 has overtaken 16 and 19 by growing over night from 120 to 330 millionth.  Wonder if it will keep this pace up.  Flare activity is not high with a dozen or so C-class flares over the last 24 hours.

Clear Skies, but the seeing is not good.  AR2209 has increased from 950 to a sizable 1090 millionth, the largest size in the last two weeks.  AR2216 shrunk from 720 to 420 millionth, but is still nice to watch. Today a full disk image and a closeup of 2216 in Ha and a closeup of AR2216 in WLC through the SVC.  Wish the quality could have been better. :-(

Active Regions AR2216 is showing very nice already at 640 millionth, while 2209 dropped to 900.

Active Region 2209 increased in size a little today to 970 millionth.  The seeing was average so the close ups are not that great especially the Ha version of AR2209.  However some detail still can be seen.

Active Region 2209 dropped its size from 1100 to 930 millionth today.  Seeing was pretty bad so no close up images today.

Clear Skies with average seeing.  AR2209 has grown considerably and has now a size of 1100 millionth with a 26 sunspot count.  The layered  cold air made a WLContinuum not feasible today with the C11, but the 3x close up in Ha does look reasonable.  I might have to resort to the SVC90 for the visible light image.
