sunspots updated

I'm seeing spots before my eyes these days. Mostly because the chalk dust in the room catches the sun at higher angles.....but if it's sunspots you want, these guys have a pretty good fix on the data....SEE:http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1003/1003.4666v1.pdf

I saw a nice sunspot looking through a small scope on Mauna Kea, yesterday.

How exactly do sunspots get to Mauna Kea so that they can look through telescopes?

I saw a nice sunspot looking through a small scope on Mauna Kea, yesterday. Is there a noteable lack of air turbulence in the viewing?

Am I the only one seeing a mild secular cycle here? Seems 18--1810 was quiet, then of course we know 1900-1915 was quiet, and now the last few years. More than a statistical fluke?

gotta read that paper, trin! thanks for posting it (I forgot to say)

And I think it is global warming that brought the sunspot to the visitors centre.
