Today, there are two sunspots visible - one near the edge of the disk on the lower diagonal right of center, the other sunspot almost directly opposite.  I used my Meade ETX-125 telescope for this photo.

One sunspot found but this photo was taken near the end of the day with my smaller 70-mm Barska telescope.

One or two sunspots detected visually using my Barska 70-mm telescope.  I tried my stronger 6.8 mm focal length eyepiece as well as the 20 mm focal length eyepiece I usually use on that telescope.
