Monster Sunspot!

There's been a lot of talk the last couple of days about a huge sunspot, known as AR1944, which may cause some spectacular aurorae tonight. It's unlikely that I will see anything, I'm too far south, but I did get out today and managed to catch a pic of the offending sunspot!

It's the MASSIVE one!!

This again is NASA's image for comparison.

Fingers crossed for some pretty skies for people slightly further north!
