A New Sunspot Emerging!

On 07/19/2026 09:26 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

This morning we see a new sunspot emerging on the Eastern limb of the solar disk and this is how it appeared to me just now.

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!
