Just had the 1st Solar session of the year 💩

AR 3590, is huge easily visible with eclipse glasses. well worth a look.

large spot and clear skies, now there is a rare phenomena 🙂

Just looked with eclipse glasses, I can see something at around 11 o’clock position.

Cloudy here in Southampton at the moment but it might clear.

Mind, I got a good look at sunspot AR3576 on the 10th Feb which was also visible with just eclipse glasses. The sun is certainly looking active!

Tipping it down here in Brighton 😭

I’ve managed to see it between a brief clear/ish spell with eclipse glasses. But it hasn’t been clear (there are showers around) for long enough to view through the telescope.

Just had a look through my Esprit 150 (with a solar filter of course), and yes there is a large and prominent sunspot group, which I can imagine would be visible through eclipse glasses.

Yes, you can definitely see it through just your filter.

Really windy here in Fla. but clear!

Managed to get this with my phone to the eyepiece, through the clouds and the trees…
