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/...003.4666v1.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?Originally Posted by tusenfem

Is there a noteable lack of air turbulence in the viewing?
At that altitiude I'll bet they get stuck on the melting wing wax.

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.
