My first white light observation of the Sun for a very long time.

The central area of 2824 appeared irregular in shape. It looked like a jellyfish with short trailing tentacles. Intricate faculae lacework surrounded the “jellyfish” and arranged around this were four groupings of tiny dark spots. On close inspection one of these small spots comprised of four tiny in-line specs and another resolved as two distinct tiny spots.

Midday today with 140mm refractor stopped down to 125mm with a Baader solar film filter.
