Is that a sun spot I see before me?

Excuse me guys/gals, but it seems so long I thought I'd better bring it to someone's attention. I thought perhaps that people might have given up looking. I see a blemish is on that orange disk over there on the left.

ah nice! About time too, might have to give ol' sol another look today. If the clouds go away.

Looks like it's a decent size too.
Seeing I still have the PST here I'll get it out today and have a look.

Awesome.

At first I though you were quoting Shakespear, Miaplacidus.

Thanks for the heads up.

Had a good look yesterday. Lots of activity happening at least 7 or 8 good size prominence's and that sunspot activity is going to be quite large, as there is more coming up from behind it.
Maybe the cycle is starting to increase?
