WOW!

The sunspots are clearly visible to the naked eye, although it all looks like one big spot. First one I've ever seen.

I'm using my modified eclipse-watching welding goggles for viewing.

CAUTION: some welding goggles at the hardware stores are intended for torch work, not arc welding, and as is, do not provide sufficient protection. Mine came with a lens rated at "5" (not sure of the units), which is NOT enough. You need at least a rating of 14.

I added an additional "10" filter to the mounting in front of the "5" filter, which adds up to 15.
