Active Region 1089 has grown so large, that it appears this sunspot is now a naked-eye object (through suitable solar protective screening.) See this image from the 7-22 Spaceweather.com edition. http://spaceweather.com/swpod2010/22jul10/Gil-Esquerdo1.jpg AR1089 should make for good solar viewing at the 7-24-2010 SLAS Sun Party.
