Default Sunspot 930 December 8 2006

It's a biggie!
Imaged by projecting the sun through a 21/2"refractor onto a sheet of white paper and taking a picture with my digital camera. Enhanced with Picture-It and cleaned with Noiseware.
Now it's Paul's and Guillaume Bertrand's turn!

Very nice, Phil!

Yeah, Spaceweather.com has several notable photos of Sunspot 930, plus an animation today that's worth looking at.

Gary Palmer's photo was nice, too: http://spaceweather.com/swpod2006/07dec06/palmer1.jpg
