Excellent, Pete.
Our session was set up to see how a 60mm Lunt and my PST compared and we really hit it lucky. Fantastic to be able to confirm with the white light filter that we were seeing sunspots. Your image is almost as good as the drawing I made on the back of a cake box to show everyone what I could see!!

Nice shot Pete. I tried but could not get any good detail. It was much brighter and more visible at 13:00 ut than it is now at 17:42 UT.
Stephen it is northwest of center.

Great image of a tiny AR. I had to check twice on SOHO, it looks like a dead pixel at first glance.
