Subject: Naked-Eye Sunspot


For solar observers who may be unaware:

Currently visible in white-light: one large sunspot. This spot is
visible to the naked eye (when looking through an eye-safe solar
filter). Under reasonable seeing conditions a properly filtered
telescope will reveal details in the umbra and penumbra.
