There are currently no sunspots visible on the face of the sun. It is blank.
This image was taken with a Sightron Infini D50 refractor (50mm, f/10.8) and a front-mounted solar filter.

Compare the spotless image above to the sun two weeks ago on 7 February, when a large active sunspot group was traversing the face:

Sunspots may be absent, but the sun is far from quiet. Many large prominences are visible around the rim in hydrogen-alpha light.
