That's a mighty fine sketch Ron! I took my 6 inch dob out today, and although I don't often use its solar filter, I'm glad I have it. It was a startling view...I kinda dismissed any thoughts of sketching; I had work I needed to be doing and a decent sketch was sure going to take some time! Glad you took the time.

Did you take a naked eye view through the filter at the sun? The spot is easy - a big black mole near the center of the sun's face.

Incredible sketch ! you have captured the detail I can see but have been unable to capture on film. These spots appear to change shape within every 12 hours. Occasionally a moment of really good seeing pops up despite the heat and really shows off the detail.

Ron,

An excellent and beautiful sketch of the prominent sunspot group. You have captured very fine detail in this observation. Please keep up the good work!
