I do remember some big groups in the 80's. I used to view them with my Tasco 10K 80mm F15 refractor and projection screen.
Thanks. Nice to see someone else who remembers them.

Curiously or coincidentally or not so coincidentally, that was the time that coincided with the increase in the earth's temperature.

And curiously or coincidentally or not so coincidentally, ever since the big sunspot groups have dried up in the late 1990s, the earth's temperature has entered a pause, a hiatus - has failed to increase.
