Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Hey there
After a long quiet period the sun is showing some activity again, there is a nice collection of half a dozen spots of various sizes now dotting the face of the sun.
Using an 80mm refractor with an 8mm EP, giving a magnification of 60, they showed up nicely. The sun is low on the horizon at the moment and there is a lot of atmospheric haze, during some of the clearer moments the sight is good.

Just for any newbies on here

Never look at the sun with a filter that fits in the eye-piece either.
