Shame on you for not warning people, (your readers!) of the harm that can come from viewing the sun.
Cut/ …..AR1476, which contains multiple sunspots big enough to see with even basic astronomy equipment …….

You should add something akin to  >>>being sure to use correct precautions when doing so. Advisably a full solar mask for the telescope or binoculars <<<

To add, you can be BLINDED looking directly into the sun, using a telescope or not.
