I captured these filtered images of the Sun in white light (L) and hydrogen alpha (R) on Saturday afternoon. Several sunspot groups, areas of plage, and many filaments/prominences are visible, indicated considerable activity.

Dwarf 2 smart telescope with ND filters for white light, Lunt 40mm solar telescope with Player One Apollo-Mini camera and Celestron NexStar mount.

For the white light image, PIPP was used to convert mp4 file to avi file and 300 frames of video were stacked with AutoStakkert. Microsoft Photo was used for post-processing of the stacked image. For the hydrogen alpha image, 600 frames of video were stacked with AutoStakkert. Registax was used to adjust wavelets and additional post-processing used Photoshop and Microsoft Photo. False color was added using Photoshop.
