There are nine sunspot groups on the Earthside of the sun--most of them crackling with low-level C-class solar flares. As reported by Spaceweather.com, and most of them were visible in this field of view, 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 12.5mm 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!
