How do you calculate the number of sunspots in a group?
K = a scaling number to compensate for variables (see text). So, in the end, to calculate the sunspot number you’d count the number of sunspot groups and multiply that number by 10. You then add the result to the number of individual sunspots in all groups, and finally multiply that result by K.

How many sunspots will I see?
NOAA suggests that if you divide the sunspot number by 15 you will get a number that represents the number of sunspots you’d see by projecting the image of the Sun onto a white screen. Today (9/15/16), the sunspot number is 14, so you’d expect to see one via eyepiece projection.

What does the R mean in the sunspot numbers?
where R is the sunspot number; g is the number of sunspot groups on the solar disk; s is the total number of individual spots in all the groups; and k is a variable scaling factor (usually <1) that accounts for observing conditions and the type of telescope (binoculars, space telescopes, etc.).

Are sunspot counts a reliable measure of solar activity?
Since reasonably reliable records of sunspot counts extend back to the early 1700s, long before other measures of solar activity could be observed, sunspot counts serve as a valuable, relatively long-term indicator of solar activity.
