There are some nice sunspots visible right now for anyone who has a small telescope and an adequate solar filter. Binoculars will work as well, but A PROPER SOLAR FILTER IS REQUIRED! I can’t stress this enough. Attempting to look at the Sun w/out proper protection will cause permanent damage. Unfiltered sunlight doesn’t play nice with eyeballs.
