AR 4444 and 4446

Sunspot 4446 is the formerly-giant farside sunspot first seen last week by the Solar Orbiter. It has decayed since then, but its remains still look potent to me through clear skies this morning.

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 12.5 mm eye piece. I am proud of this dedicated solar telescope as I made it myself around a used Jagers objective lens, bought on e-bay that had damaged coatings. A Moon Lite focuser, a Baader Planetarium Herschal Wedge. It has become my favorite telescope for sunspots!
