A Magnificent Mess of Sunspots
is now well on the solar disc, but there is also a small group more centrally placed. Observed today at 1155 UT by projection with 60mm aperture at f15. Regards Bob

There are lots of Ellerman Bombs on this feature. See today's www.spaceweather.com .

Yes indeed, I visually observed the main Sunspot group, 0utdoors (a bit unusual for me) this morning using 10x50 & 20x60 binoculars (each binocular having one objective lens safely filtered, the other objective fully blocked off). The main Sunspot group was nice to see using both bins. Then I rushed off to get a needle stuck in my arm about 11:10UT. I thought them Ellerman Bombs were fireworks fired off last night.
Best wishes from Cliff
