The above sketch shows the sunspot that was near the Sun's following limb on this date. The view is mirror-reversed. North is up. Preceding is to the left.

A mild wind was blowing during this observation; but the curved wall of the "Colosseum" blocked most of it. Clouds briefly blocked the Sun a couple of times during the observation.
