Yay!!!! I managed to photograph a sunspot. I am using a 300mm lens at ISO 100 and F14. I have a Baader solar filter. I am borrowing a Canon 700D for the summer. :-)

That sunspot looks pretty large!

Very nice. The upper middle is group 2544 and has ten spots. The bigger spot, middle left, is 2546. This group has only one spot, for now.
