Details:
After learning about the sunspots yesterday from Spaceweather, I grabbed my little ASTRO-TECH AT72EDII refractor and tried a photo thru trees from my yard. But then headed to a neighbors field for an unobstructed view. Effective focal length 1032mm f9 w/Nikon Z50 + TC-16a teleconverter at ISO 160 for 1/1000th second and DayStar Solar film filter.
A friend commented how the sunspots looked like the Hawaiian Islands, but comparatively, these spots are bigger!
