First naked eye sunspot of the season?

[Peter Drew]

Viewed the current sunspot activity in Ha this morning, very obvious black nucleus even in Ha so dug out my old eclipse specs and sure enough the main spot was just visible to the otherwise unaided eye.

Cool! Always wondered if this was poss. I've a few pairs from an eclipse a couple of years back.

The big boy on the 14th was barely naked eye visible ...

Doggone it, i was out sketching the monster yesterday but forgot to take a look at it through my eclipse glasses (insert DunceCap smileyface here).

Today there's a thick-ish cirrus layer, and the only thing i can see is the glow of the solar disc. It looks kind of neat through the eclipse glasses, though.. like a foggy Moon against a blackened sky.

No signs of any sun around here.

Weather here has been atrocious for days now so I haven't even seen the sun. I'll put aside a welders screen just in case things improve.
