Hi Jonathon,

Regarding sunspots today:  There is actually a multi-spotted region near
the center of the Sun that has been developing the past few days. When I
first looked this morning there was high cloud cover over Santa Fe and I
couldn't detect any but at 1920 UT the clouds thinned a little and the
spots are visible. Any time you need verification of spots or even pores I
can usually oblige by email. 

There might be light flaring from this sunspot group which may or may not
have an effect on Hale-Bopp. Solar flare winds in the direction of comets
has been known to put ripples in previous comet's ion tails. 

Clear skies,
Tom A
New Mexico
