[Utah-astronomy] Sunspots with no magnification

It's clear (and CCCOLD) out here in Ohio. I put on my eclipse shades for a peek at the sun and was amazed to easily see a big sun spot group without any magnification. I'll admit, I don't look at the sun daily, but I've never been able to observe surface detail on the sun without magnification before. Does anyone here know if such a big feature is common? ~Kelly
