Abstract

There is a low frequency of sunspot observations in some years of the 17th and 18th century. In particular, the interval 1777-1795 is one of the periods with scarce observations in the databases. In this note, we report a sunspot observation carried out the 3rd November 1779 by Giuseppe Toaldo and Andrea Comparetti.
