just did an equipment check with the 90mm Mak Cass and this is exactly what I saw, a bit rounder tho I'm glad you posted and verified the chain of sunspots. If anyone is interested the Mak Cass is f 13.8 and FL 1250. I'm using an Astrozap Baader aperture filter. The eyepiece is a 32mm Plossel and the suns' disk fits nicely inside the FoV. I'll be able to visualize the entire ring.
