8 Sunspot Groups with old ‘fracs

[SuburbanMak]

Nice white light session this afternoon out with a Prinz 330 60mm f11.8 and then the Clarkson 3”f15. 
 

Counted 8 active regions in total including one quite large spot in the Northern hemisphere hoving into view around the Eastern limb. 
 Lots of detail - tiny spots between the main Western groups and in the best moments of transparency (which was generally a bit hazy, although seeing steady) noticed a couple of faculae. 
Best views with a TV 15mm & Baader continuum giving 47x in the Prinz and 83X in the Clarkson. 
The Prinz edged it for sharpness but love any excuse to get the 120 year old Clarkson out!

Love the combination of old and modern on the Clarkson, and the yellow label on the Prinz😄

The Prinz once belonged to an academic department - hence the stating-the-obvious labelling
