AR 10484, 2003/10/22
I observed the gigantic active region AR 10484 on Wednesday afternoon.
It was the one of the easiest to detect naked-eye sunspots that I've
ever beheld and was unmistakable through my polymer solar shades. I
was able to see considerable internal detail with my Celestron C4.5
Newtonian at 53, 72, and 82x. I also noted the CME producing sunspot
AR 10486 working its way in from the trailing limb.
