[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 799641, member: 176362"] The sunspot structure is clearly visible when back projected onto a piece of paper through my birding scope 3 small spots trailing big one, - the big one looks like the planet Saturn at the reslouton I can get to with my small scope. Oh and remember [B][I]never ever[/I][/B] look at the sun directly through a telescope or binocs - you could well blind yourself. Always project onto a piece of paper. The pic shows the idea - the sunspot is just visible below the centre of the solar disc. Most of the time it was very hazy, but we did get a few seconds of good visibility through the clouds. It is there honest! [/QUOTE]
