Active Region 10537, or Sunspot 537 if you will, was visible without magnification (using polymer solar eclipse shades) on Sunday afternoon. On Saturday afternoon I could see AR 10536 without magnification but it was too close to the preceding limb on Sunday. Through my 114mm f/7.9 Celestron C4.5 Newtonian at 36 and 72x the multiple umbrae of both sunspots were visible on both days.
