Howdy all; There are some excellent sunspots visible now. One in particular is a very prominent N-S pairing with a very thin line down the middle that separates the two poles. Fascinating at 175X in my 7 inch f/15 Maksutov with a Baader film solar filter. There also seems to be another large sunspot making its way around the "corner" and should be visible in the next several days.
