The above sketch shows the sunspot group (Sunspot 960) that has recently rotated to the earth-facing side of the Sun. Preceding is up and south is to the left in this mirror-reversed view. At times during this session clouds blocked the Sun from view.

For most of the observation the telescope was used at 90x. Later 40x was used for the faculae portion of the sketch.

After completing this observation the view was shared with a guest.
