Naked Eye Sunspot

Sunspot 1476 is easily visible by eye alone through a shade #14 welder's glass. So if you have a shade #14 welder's glass, or proper solar filter, check it out.

While spots are more detailed through a properly filtered solar telescope, it's always fun to see them without optical aid.

Clear skies, Alan

Alan, I took a look at it yesterday through a welder's glass.

Wow! That is a big one, Alan!
I've been trying to spot them lately, with no luck until now.
That's probably about the size that Venus will appear in the June transit, right?
It's looking really nice in my double-stacked Lunt.
