Yesterday afternoon at 19:15 UT I took another gander at the mammoth sunspot designated #69. The sky was hazy but that didn't stop #69 from being an easy naked-eye target through my polymer solar shades. The chain of spots preceeding #69 now resemble a question mark when viewed through a telescope, in this case a Celestron C4.5 Newtonian at 53x (17mm Tele Vue Ploessl). The temperature at the time was 38 degrees Celsius and the barometric pressure only 1000 millibars.
