Clear skies and good seeing for a session to observe the spotless Sun.  Some nice filaments are still to see in the southern and northern hemisphere and some nice prominences around the solar disk in Ha.  Today full disk images again.

Clear skies today, and the next few days as well!  However, the spots have disappeared and the Sun is spotless again.  This means we are counting spotless days again. A nice prominence is showing in the NW as shown on the Ha image.  Today only full disk images in the three wavelengths.

Scattered clouds this morning with variable seeing.  AR2794 has rotated to the far side of the Sun and AR2795 has decayed to a plage, so there is not much to report at the time of my observation. The big question is: will SWPC report tomorrow the first spotless day of 2021?  Only time will tell, so for today only full disk images in the three wavelengths.

Clear skies with below average seeing.  AR2794 remains stable and AR2795 shows some decay.  Total spot count today is 6.  Today images of the full disk as well as close ups of the mentioned areas in the three wavelengths.

Clear skies, but the observing session  was a race against the clouds, which are covering the sky now.  The Sun shows very little activity in both areas with the exception of a few B-Class flares.  Today full disk images and close ups in the three wavelengths.

Clear skies and colder than yesterday, and so was the seeing. So today only full disk images and a close up of the two regions in Ha. I hope the seeing conditions will improve soon.

Clear skies, but still freezing, and the Sun at an altitude of 16 degrees at the time of observation on the last day of CR2238.  Together with winds of 15-18 miles/hour this resulted in low seeing conditions.  The areas of AR2794 and AR2795  have increased, but the seeing prevented good details.  Today full disk images as well as close ups of the two regions.  The  rotation closes with a Total Active Region area for the rotation period of 8050 millionths and two spotless days.

Clear skies, but the seeing was below average, especially during the CaK imaging.  We have Very Low Solar activity.  AR2794 is stable but a new region towards the Eastern limb shows a little magnetic activity and created some B-class  flares.  This region is not named yet, but I would expect it to be named at midnight.  A small prom is also visible at the SW limb.  Today full disk images as well as close ups in the three wavelengths.

Still clear skies before the rain returns later today.  Today we have a spotless Sun with Very Low activity.  The main visible areas in Ha and CaK are the plages from the last two active regions in the southern hemisphere.

Clear skies this morning with average seeing.  AR2793 is decaying a little with two very small spots and shows very little activity, so the Sun’s activity is and remains Very Low.  A nice prom was also visible at the SW limb as well as on the Eastern limb and NW.  I made an image of the larger one at the SW limb.
