Sun and sun spots AR2835 and AR2837 through my Dob (3 July)

It has been a hectic few weeks with the weather for any visual observation and this afternoon there was a nice break between the clouds before it started raining again. I observed the sun through my 8" Dob and there was a nice big (to my eyes) sunspot. According to the SOHO website it is 2835. In my photos I can also make AR2837 as well.  It looked nice and with several features. I did not lose the opportunity to capture a few shots with my DSLR at prime focus. Very pleased to have had the chance to get out after a long time.

Good work! AR 2835 keeps evolving I think it has become even larger. I managed to have a quick look at about 5pm yesterday (3 July) and it seem,s that the umbral region has split into two. It will be interesting to follow it today and tomorrow before it rotates away.
