Hello,

The Sun is one area of observing for which I have zero expertise.

I'd like to know if these sunspots from yesterday look unusual in any way to an experienced Sun observer?

Nope. They look like ordinary sunspots to me... it's just been a long time since I've seen them in person.

That's a nice little batch of spots.
I'll charge up my batteries tonight and hope it's clear tomorrow.

Thanks Al, Peter and Jeanette.

Much appreciated guys. Certainly no "gee I've never seen that" type responses. Great :)

Ditto - I had a great time on Sunday observing the Sun.
