6th Feb Sunspots

6th Feb. 10 am AEDT.
I managed a quick image of the Sun this morning thru light clouds. Only a few small sunspots - a vast difference to what occurred in January where we had lots of sunspots and some large. January's official sunspot number was 143.6 (the highest so far in Cycle 25). This was higher than December's count of 113.4. So far, February's activity has been low. There may be a new sunspot on the NE limb. The attached image is a single exposure taken with a Canon 550d camera attached to an 81 mm WO refractor with herschel wedge set at 540 nm.
Thanks for viewing.
