The day started off very clear but, by the time I got out with the Solarscope to do a sunspot count, plenty of cloud had started to gather. The count had to be done in fleeting clear moments. |

Active areas 897 and 898 were both nicely visible without any trouble. I could count 4 spots in 897 (down 1 from yesterday), I got the impression that the whole area had faded a little too. Area 898 still had a the large spot I could see yesterday, the umbra appeared very dark, the edges look quite sharp. It is still surrounded by a very obvious penumbra. I could also see a second spot in the area, much smaller than the main one. |
