Hi all,
The skies were quite clear this morning, but the seeing was not very good. The temperature rose 7-8 degrees in the 1/2 hour that I made this observing run!! We got to over 110 F today with some humidity. Perfect day to stay in the house. Anyway, this is what I could manage. I finally got the numbering correct, and made the necessary corrections on the previous images. AR 656 is quite complex, which is unusual since it is previously numbered 649 and is at least 2-3 weeks old!! It bears following. AR 655 seems to be diminishing. According to Spaceweather AR652 is still active on the far side of the sun, but time will tell if we see it in 8-10 days.
Well, it's off to 3 days of work next week, so I won't image the sun again until Thursday.
