The one spot of Region 2842 looks unchanged. (Solar Projection)

Through the Vixen 81mm, a small umbra was still visible. The other two spots seen yda have disappeared. (using 42x, a solar filter and a green filter). I am finding that the solar image is clearer at 42x than 52x.

Now that I have a solar filter, I am planning to take a photo or two when interesting features appear. Is there any filter that is advisable to use when taking 'white'-light images?

Thanks Ken,

I guess that is why Moon filters are normally green.
