Hi Marios. A very nice sketch of the sunspots with the 10" Dob and solar filter. And I just saw this morning on the Raben Systems solar maps that AR2888 just popped up on the eastern limb. Thanks for sharing this wonderful rendition with us on here Marios, keep up great work, and congratulations on receiving the TSS VROD Award.
