< Previous Next >Seen here is the big sunspot 756 traveling into solar horizon leaving a nice trail of facula behind. Compare it to my last entry and note how the perspective has changed and how much it has traveled in two days. Seeing was awful when I was taking this image. It was very difficult to see the small spot near the boiling limb of the sun.
