So this is... the fourth time I've used this Orion StarShoot for astrophotography and today I got some pretty good images of the currently active sunspots on the sun, so I thought I share it with you all. Sunspot Group 1385 currently is a threat for producing Earth-directed solar flares, which would not be good.

So where exactly are these sun spots located on the sun?
