Large unit power sunspot (5 march 2012)

Hi,

A large sunspot observed and photographed. It has multiple umbrae. Also seen at unit power through the sunspot.

See: Variable Star Nights

This large spot was clearly visible with just a solar filter today, better than yesterday.

Although the seeing was poorish (with the jetstream overhead), my new image (see my website; url in first post) gives an idea. Pronto used.

Is the weather bad, back in the old sod?

If its clear tomorrow, its worth having a look for. ! :scope:

Hi John,

I saw it this morning with just a solar filter.

Wanted to get the h-alpha scope out but was rushing off to work .
