Sunspots Dec 6th
A problem I had with focussing my binoculars seemed to have disappeared, conveniently! This meant that I could get better resolution of sunspots and my first view of the Sun in December was spectacular! If it was a weekend and not a work day, I would have time to get my Maksutov out and do a thorough shoot. Still, I had to be grateful for the opportunity to see such an active Sun after a period where it was difficult to see anything at all.

Re: Sunspots Dec 6th
Hi Philip. A very nice sketch of the solar sunspots using just your binoculars. It looks like you caught active regions 3153, 3154, 3155, 3156, and 3158 in your drawing. Thanks for sharing your latest work with us Philip and the best of wishes for better skies and time to get your Mak-Cass scope out again soon.
