Sunspot 4446

This morning we see the most active sunspot is AR 4446. This sunspot has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. The sun is peppered with sunspots at the moment but the largest and most active is AR 4446.

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral density and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 20mm 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 Herschel Wedge. It has become my favorite telescope for sunspots!
