I managed a few minutes in Ha today but the wind and clouds shut me down. Very impressive spot, can't wait for it to move in for a better view! On Apr 9, 2016 5:33 PM, "Chuck Hards" <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
John, thanks for the heads-up!
Clouds all day finally parted enough for my wife and I to grab a five-minute peek in white light. Big sunspot! Not the largest single spot I've seen, but definitely top-ten size. If you dropped the earth in that spot, it would be nothing but net!
Hopefully the clouds clear a bit tomorrow and I can set up the H-a scope.

Hi Folks,
If you have the Ha or white-light solar gear, this one is definitely worth a look--the thing is impressively big. I'm guessing it might be visible w/o magnification, but I am stuck doing taxes so haven't taken the time to check (as the clouds close in). It looks like it should be visible tomorrow also. In Ha, there's a lot going on around the sunspot also--interesting filaments, plages, and such. I haven't had a chance to check in white light, but I imagine that'd be great too.
