Re: AR 11429 naked eye.
Yes!!!!!!! I saw it just minutes ago. It looks like a transit of Venus. As a test (without telling him where it was) my work colleague saw his first ever sunspot, and he saw it in the same place as me. Thanks Stephen for the glasses it might be my only view of this monster I get.

Peter, do those happen to be Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project Eclipse glasses?

Hello Stephen. These "glasses" were left over from the 1999 total eclipse. We purchased 2000 for the Astronomy Centre to distribute to the public.
