Robthevegetable Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Howdy,I was looking at the Sun yesterday afternoon (and took the rather dodgy photo attatched with my phone against the eyepiece... Can see the spots though)!I was wondering how you know what sunspot your looking at, I've seen people referencing codes and what-not and have no idea how these are assigned or where the reference code comes from.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillian Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Check out spaceweather.com. It will tell you the names of the spots and shows current activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
