I see no sunspots of course, but several diffuse "gray" circular areas about 1/20th or so the diameter of the sun, dispersed roughly randomly. There's a pretty prominent one just to the left of top center; see it? The rest are not so prominent but about the same size. Are these actual Solar features, or imaging artifacts? Mark L.

To respond to my own question, I see no such things on SOHO images: http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/...spots_1024.jpg or he http://www.solarmonitor.org/index.php http://mlso.hao.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/mlso_homepage.cgi http://solis.nso.edu/ etc. So, probably artifacts?
