I managed to get two pics of the sunspots - 2nd Sept and 5th Sept. However all spots are relatively small compared to what we had several weeks ago. Sunspot numbers seemed to have decreased lately. For June the av. monthly count was 163.4, for July 159.1 and for August 114.9. Maybe we have reached maximum a bit earlier than forecast ? Or is there more to come ?
These two images are single exposures with a Canon 550d camera, 81 mm refractor and herschel wedge.
