Sunspot 4482 Poses a Threat!

On 07/09/2026 09:34 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

There are five numbered sunspots on the solar disk this morning. And we see that Sunspot 4482 poses a threat for X-class solar flares.

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