Sunspot 4455 has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field!

This morning, along with several departing sunspots, we see that Sunspot 4455 has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that poses a threat for X-class solar flares.

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral density 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 Herschel Wedge. It has become my favorite telescope for sunspots!
