There's a nice grouping today with one of the biggest spots I've seen yet. 8) If you've got a sun filter then get out and take a look and get a tan at the same time.

Cheers,
Mike

Yep...just got done looking at it. A Bunch, with some nice detail in my 80mm f/11 refractor and Thousand Oaks filter.

Oh yeah. That's grown quite a bit since yesterday.
That's a wild looking line of filaments in the NW quadrant, near the big tall prominence!
Looks like someone skipped a stone across the solar surface. grin
