Whenever I notice a large sunspot on the Space Weather dot com main page, I go over to the SOHO sunspot page and read about it. On SOHO, I saw that sunspot 1543 is prominent in the northern hemisphere of the solar globe today.
I grabbed the Canon SX-40 and my economy solar filter and went out in the courtyard and took the image above. I am using the same camera setup that I used for the May 20th annular eclipse and the June 5th transit of Venus.
The “little” sunspot is about three times the diameter of the Earth. Click on the image to enlarge.
