Tuesday, immediately out of school, I took my 70mm f/6 refractor telescope with a homemade Solar filter.
With my 9mm T1 Nagler (44x) and Baader Contrast Booster the Sun showed its spots beautifully.
Especially in group 1193 were many details visible.
And when you are sketching, even more details become visible.
This is a sketch of group 1193 and 1191 (which has one spot only, at the bottom of the sketch). Group 1191 was pretty faint in my 70mm telescope, but at moments of good seeing it looked like it had more than one umbra.
Clear skies!
