I was setting the scope up for tonight and decided to take a quick look at the sun. You can easily see sunspot 1057, the large spot near the top center. Sunspot 1059 is a little harder to find but can just be seen to the far left. Click on the image above to go to the flickr page where I tagged the spots.
