Well the weather was not good yesterday so I did not go out. I had loads of other things to do anyway.
This morning the sun so out so I took the telescope and went and had a look at a very large sunspot transing across the sun. Now I was told how large this was but can't remember how many Earth would fit in it. Today the radiation from it is going to hit the earth and COULD take out power grids. Please note the COULD.

Sunspots are cooler parts of the sun and that is why they look dark.
Here is an image take about half an hour later, the sun was higher.

Around 8 last night was a really clear Moon but being full it would have washed them out.
