Description

This work continues revisiting the manual observations of magnetic fields in sunspots from 1917-2025. Observations from Mount Wilson Observatory, Potsdam, and Crimean Astrophysical Observatory are included. We review the methods of observations, describe observational setups, compare measurements, and discuss systematics. While we see a solar cycle variation in the amplitude of strongest magnetic field, the results indicate no systematic change in sunspot field strength over the last 11 sunspot cycles.
