Nice image of an unusually high southern sunspot at a latitude of 42 deg S. Very few sunspots are more than 30 deg away from the equator never mind 40 deg. High latitude sunspots appear at the start of solar cycles (and move towards the solar equator as the cycle progresses).

Thanks Peter. Yes, it sure is at an unusually high latitude.
