Did some sunspot observing Sunday, around 12:30 EDT. There's a very nice, large, and complex group on the following limb, along with some faculae. There's also a smaller pair on the preceding limb. The seeing was very steady and some really fine structure was visible. Here are a couple images (although they looked much better visually). They were through my 8-inch f/8 Newtonian, Nikon Coolpix 800 mounted to a 14mm TeleVue Radian eyepiece.
