Disappointing Solar

[Mr Spock]

The sky is blue, the seeing is good, and... the solar disk is almost featureless.

Well, there are a couple of small spots near the limb accompanied by a larger group of faculae, but that's it 

Not what I was hoping for.

Typical isn't it, constant cloud while the AR's flit across the disc then as soon as they go round the far side it clears up.

That’s a shame. What’s the seeing like? granulation any good?

In fact, the Sun gave a show last month, also thanks to the good weather that around 10 December deigned to do after a month and a half of rain every day. Today at 13.53 (Italian time) with my achromatic 80/400 at 50X it was desolately empty; the new cycle seems to have been on alternating current for some time.

By the time I got to the WL the seeing had dropped away so not good.

[Mr Spock]

Granulation on view but not much else!

It was not much on display today was it? I had a look at the following site

and I thought that it was not worth bringing the Dob out.
