The new sunspot seen yesterday has a name!

The new sunspot seen yesterday on the sun 's eastern limb now has a name! It's AR 4489. The sky is quite cloudy now here in Sedona, so viewing it's progress has been difficult from this location.

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!
