Mostly overcast day with some rain at times. Had a brief clear spell (although quite hazy) so took the Solarscope out to do a quick sunspot count. |

Just the 1 sunspot on the Sun today: in active area 923. Huge umbra with a really deep penumbra. I think this might actually be the biggest sunspot I've seen since I started active solar observing. Given the size of the spot I grabbed a pair of eclipse shades and checked the Sun with the naked eye and managed to see the spot with no trouble at all. |
