Solar Events

Well the first month of 2008 has proven to be quite a slow month for SID's. There was only one correlated SID event this month by one observer. Most observers had no activity at all. Even the GOES-12 satellite had very little activity. There were a total of 15 X-Ray events. Most of these were at the beginning of the month. In fact nine of them were on the 1st. All were B or C class events. Thanks to all of you for submitting reports even those of "No Events". If you don't see your name above that is because in this report I only include the names of those observers who had correlated events. I do, however, include the name and observer ID of all those that reported in as part of the AAVSO monthly report and of course in my database as well. Your observations are noted and appreciated - and important to the overall data set.
