The Sun was still far enough above the horizon on the afternoon of the 23rd that I could drag out the telescope, and the light-box that I had made for the Venus Transit, and check out this sun-spot I had been reading about on Bad Astronomy and Universe Today.
Despite dusk starting to colour the sky, and a bit of high-level haze, I still managed to get a few good photos of the projection of the Sun.
Amazing to think that this spot is the size of Jupiter, and that the smaller darker spot is the size of Earth. Brain goes fizzle!
