Thanks @JeremyS I will have to catch up with it on you tube as it clashes with the Chester Astro Soc. webinar.

This evening - or catch up afterwards on YouTube.

Just did the YouTube catch up. Excellent talk. I would recommend it to one and all.

PS I would have loved to have asked why such a slow rotator suddenly produced star spots. Spots on red giants are not common and generally only seen on "fast" rotating examples.
