Sun rotates by itself. So what you saw yesterday moved to the back side I belief.
Of course the shape and groupings of the sunspots are dynamic by themselves. By recording sunspots everyday it is quite interest to note how they change.
But bad weather prohibits continuous recording in everyday and so I just try my best.
I am puzzled by your thought:
If the Paramount is there and ready for use, why bother the size of the telescope? Surely it will be more INCONVENIENT if he chooses to use another mount!
God of Mirror has the Paramount mount set up on the roof of his school, and can be used readily. In fact, I believe the small telescope is just one of many on that mount.
If he is to use any other mount, he has to take it to the roof and set it up.
That is what I mean by "inconvenient".
Actually, apart from inconvenience, there is one more difficulty: that is to set the polar axis accurately is nearly impossible in daytime.
Sorry for confusing you. Actually the FS-60 is peggyed onto a 16 inch RCOS on the Paramount. Please see attached pictures
The 16 inch telescope is intended to be used for photometry but there is not much photometry done in HK. So a small FS-60 was recently added atop to make some sunspot capturing.
The whole setup is robotically controlled. It's very conveniet - I click mouse in my office.
