 Notes: DO NOT EVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN, ESPECIALLY WITH A TELESCOPE UNLESS YOU HAVE SPECIAL SOLAR FILTERS DESIGNED JUST FOR THIS! Setting up your equipment in broad daylight takes a little getting used to! Not to mention trying to remember to leave your scope caps on. Anyway, this is my first attempt at solar imaging and I think I captured some nice small sunspot activity.
   
Below are the numbered sunspots if you are in to tracking such things:
