Looking at Ken's post I noticed this spot, from the new solar cycle, appears to show the Wilson effect. This image was taken with my Skywatcher 102mm refractor, Lunt Herschel wedge and ZWO120MC camera.

There is debate in the literature about what causes this effect.

Here is a recent article for your interest.

Richard,
Well done, very good capture.
It will be interesting to watch how this AR develops.
