This morning I captured this white-light image of our nearest star. Active sunspot group AR3098 is rotating out of view on the NW limb while AR3102 (formerly AR3088 when it rotated out of sight on August 30) has now rotated fully into view on the SE limb. Sunspot area AR3100 is in the middle of the solar disk.

Celestron 102mm f/6.3 refractor, APM Herschel Wedge, Player One Apollo-Mini camera, SkyWatcher EQ6R mount.

The best 25% of 1500 frames of video (Ser file) were stacked with AutoStakkert, wavelets adjusted with Registax, final adjustments and color added using Photoshop and PhotoScape X.
