The above sketch shows the general appearance of sunspot #956 -- looking somewhat like a smiling, cartoon alien. North is up and preceding is to the left in this mirror-reversed view.
The thin haze in my sky is most likely from a distant forest or grassland fire. It's been enough to discourage me from attempting deep-sky observing on the past couple of nights.
