Long time since my last sunspot image. Seeing wasn't that good and I have lost my routines on solar imaging. It took a long effort to get the camera even focused properly. Laptop displays are a bit difficult in bright sunlight. Anyway, at least I got some sort of image of this fairly large sunspot group.
