At the top of the article there is a picture that is just one of a gallery (6 images). It's not obvious but it appears that a couple of them are drawings, presumably by the subject of the article.

The carousel at the top of the page shows both a photograph and a diagram for each of 6 different days, 12 separate pictures: March 29, 2016; November 30, 1999; December 31, 2012; May 30, 2008; February 6, 2007; August 27, 2006 http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sunspots_512_20160329.jpg http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sunspots_512... http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/dr160329-1024x592.jpg http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/dr160329-102... http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sunspots_1024_19991130.jpg http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sunspots_102... http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/dr991130-1024x460.jpg http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/dr991130-102... http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sunspots_1024_20121231.jpg http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sunspots_102... http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/dr121231-1024x592.jpg http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/dr121231-102... etc.

  Thank you. It should have been noted that these are labeled scientific drawings with phenomenological ids for any spots or effects. Not just silly sketches. Its probably an easier task to OCR the sketches than to even get the guy to use new software or use images of the sun and detect spots. Kind of interesting, are there any sunspot softwares that use actual photographic data from digital scopes? Ie. Is what this guy is doing these days only a spiritual release? (Not hating, just pointing out that I would love to have his job..)
