Of course for solar observing, naked eye means looking though a solar filter with no magnification. Can't be too careful these days with how things are worded...

Thanks for the heads up, John! I checked it out naked eye, but could not make out the large sunspot. However, at 56 years old, my naked eyes don't see as well as they once did. 😊 Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Astro Friends, Great day for solar observing. https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.raben.com%2Fmaps%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cmat.hutchings%40siemens-healthineers.com%7C21096294151d449f996408d89176f9c9%7C5dbf1add202a4b8d815bbf0fb024e033%7C0%7C0%7C637419287468254167%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=H9NjCDu8vdsyYBZiXN7%2FOnx3AOUg79gcKf%2Fb9DvuO4Q%3D&reserved=0 shows 4 active regions. 12786 is a huge sunspot; haven't checked, but my guess is it may be visible w/o magnification. I'm sure it would be interesting in white light. It's spectacular in H-alpha. Happy (Stay Well) Thanksgiving!
