Oct 23rd 2 pm. Waited for a few hours for cloud to go but it didn't. So had to take this image of the Sun thru light cloud. Shows the huge sunspot AR2192 together with 2194 and 2195. North is to upper left. Single exposure thru a WO 81 mm scope with Herschel wedge at 540 nm using a Canon 550d camera. AR2192 is really complex magnetically. I measured it at 147,000 km on long EW axis. Makes Earth look small. Thanks for viewing.
