This was our last afternoon at Nova East. Clouds were occasionally covering the sun and we knew it was to cloud over completely soon so decided to observe the sunspots using the solar filter built specifically for my telescope.

The sunspots were numerous in the Sun's lower hemisphere. The line of them extended from about 7 o'clock on the Sun's surface to 2:30 o'clock on the eastern limb. The sketch was a bit hurried as the cloud cover was encroaching the viewing field.
