"MAGIC" picture
Sorry, no sunspot sketches the last week, due to clouds or traveling. I hope this makes up for some of it; a spectacular picture as NASA's photo-of-the-day today: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap111014.html.
Note that La Palma is very near the equator. Look closely at the arc of the star trails on the right and left sides of the photograph.
