4446 Has Decayed But...

Sunspot 4446 is the formerly-giant farside sunspot first seen last week by Solar Orbiter. 4446 has decayed since then, but still appears potent. This is how it appeared to me through mostly cloudy skies this morning.

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 12.5 mm eye piece. I am proud of this dedicated solar telescope as I made it myself around a used Jagers objective lens, bought on e-bay that had damaged coatings. A Moon Lite focuser, a Baader Planetarium Herschal Wedge. It has become my favorite telescope for sunspots!
