Clear skies with average seeing.  The Sun is spotless today for spotless day 16 in the current streak and spotless day 19 of the current rotation.  A small but distinct filament in the North near the meridian, and some nice proms at the NE and the Eastern limb.  Today full disk images and a close up of the filament and the NE prom.

Another spotless day with fast moving clouds impacting the observing session.  Not much happening today.

High and fast moving cirrus clouds but good enough for some images.  The Sun is spotless again today with only a very small prom in the SW and a small filament in the SE.

Clear skies with good seeing. The Sun remains spotless today. I noticed some proms at the SE and SW limbs. However during the processing of the images it showed that the SE prom was erupting, which is visible in the full disk Ha image. Too bad I did not notice this during the observing session, in which case I would have made a close up.

Clear skies for my observing session. Another spotless day for the Sun. The prominences have shifted over the last 24 hours. We now have a small prom in the NW but a beautiful hedgerow prom at the SE limb. Full disk images today and a close up of the Prom.

Clear and stable skies.  Another spotless Sun today.  However a few nice prominences are visible at the NE and SW limbs.
Full disk images as well as close ups in Ha of the Proms.

The storms passed through here around 3:30am this morning, so it was a short night.  But the observing session this morning revealed again a spotless sun for spotless day 727 since solar maximum.  A few small filaments and a little prom could be seen in Ha, and some plages in Cak.  In 540nm the Sun is featureless today.

Clear Skies today, getting ready for the storms tomorrow.  Another spotless day, however a very small pore is seen near the Eastern limb.  This area shows cycle 24 polarization, but the area in the right bottom corner of the CaK closeup shows cycle 25 polarization.  For the rest, a quiet Sun.

It was cloudy this morning but it cleared up somewhat.  Still, the seeing was poor with win gust of 15-20 mph.  The Sun remains spotless for another day with a few filaments in the NW and SW.  Today full disk images only.

Another spotless day after AR2759 decayed to a plage.  Full disk images in the three wavelengths and no WL close up today, but close ups of the plage in Ha and CaK.
