Region 2842 now has a much-smaller, secondary spot. I could see a small umbra around each spot when viewing with the Solar filter.

My observations are becoming earlier, because a neighbour has cut down a tree. The downside of earlier viewing is that the seeing is not good and thus, the Solar edge boiled. Hmm, I may have to be a bit more patient in future. Then again, some days, I need to take the first chance to view, as it quickly becomes cloudy and I may not see the Sun for the rest of the day.

What camera did you have in mind??

Hi Ken,

I have a Cannon EOS M50 mirrorless camera. I tried some shots yda, but they did not turn out well, as I had problem with both the focusing and disturbing the camera when I took the image. Nevertheless, thanks for the tip about the green filter. I will keep working on it.
