Check out the sun!

Hi Astro Friends, Great day for solar observing. https://www.raben.com/maps/ shows 4 active regions. 12786 is a huge sunspot; haven't checked, but my guess is it may be visible w/o magnification. I'm sure it would be interesting in white light. It's spectacular in H-alpha. Happy (Stay Well) Thanksgiving! John
