I took this shot today at f10 with my C11 using a baader filter and toucam. Best 100frames stacked out of 2000. Average seeing, slightly in the trees. The sunspot's massive size seems bigger than Venus! I tried using my 2.5x powermate but got a strange reflection in the upper right hand corner using the toucam. If anyone has any web sites on solar activity, could you please post them. Thanks

Regards,
Steve
