I joined my friend Tony Donnangelo for a bit of solar observing on Thursday morning. Using his Lumicon Solar Prominence H-alpha filter and Takahashi FS-102 apochromat we viewed only a few minor prominences. However, in white light through a Baader AstroSolar filter the sun's disk was sprinkled with sunspots. AR 10409 and 10410 were the standouts.
