Another (BIG) Sunspot

spot-1476-1.jpg

I’m still rehearsing for the eclipse next week. Yesterday, very large sunspot 1476 was strutting its stuff across the solar plasma (still is today, I believe). I stepped out to the courtyard and captured this solar disk image using the techniques for previous solar imaging. If you look closely, you can see sunspot group 1477 above and to the left – look for a pair of slightly dark spots at about latitude 45. Click on the image for full resolution.
