As you probably know, there are plenty of sunspots visible through a telescope equipped with a proper, safe solar filter. One of the larger spots is visible to the eye when looking through my shade 14 welder's glass. So, if you have a safe filter, take a look by eye.

Clear skies, Alan

Thanks for the heads up. I couldnt see anything naked eye but with the scope there are three big ones that were even black in the PST.
