Space weather indicated that a sunspot was forming, then it disappeared. Was this counted? If so, it would have been another that the "ancients" would not have "seen".

Still wondering how our current "sunspot sightings" would have ranked with those observing back during the Maunder Minimun. Would all of the Jan-Feb spots been seen or not seen. Take it away Leno.
