Spot 1339 is huge, and nicely visible to the unaided eye (through an appropriate filter, of course).

Through even a modest telescope, it is marvelous, and there's a lot more to see too.

Clear skies, Alan

I observed it today in white light, and through my 40mm PST. This is one of the most interesting (and huge!) spots in a long time. I hooked an old Canon Powershot G2 up to the solar scope, and made this image this morning. This one is definitely worth taking a look at!
