You might think it is poor seeing, but I see an excellent image! The contrast is pretty much optimal and the detail is still pretty darn good, especially for that image scale. One item in nomenclature though, there is no such thing as a "Sunspot 1029". What you have imaged is Active Region 11029 (or just AR 1029 for short). The region contains multiple sunspots and spots themselves are not usually assigned NOAA numbers (only active regions, whether they contains sunspots or not). This slight foul-up is seen even at Spaceweather.com, but they continue to use the region numbers incorrectly. Keep up the fine imaging and clear skies to you.
