The other afternoon I pulled out my old C-5 and took a look at the sun... I couldn't see any sunspots... Curious if this is a low sunspot activity or if the old eagle eye is just not up to snuff...

You and your scope are just fine...

You can check this link (and go to SOHO) to see if any "special" activity is happening...
