New Sunspot 4472

New sunspots can be seen emerging around the Suns eastern limb this morning. And we see new sunspot 4472 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares.

103mm Jaegers refractor, Baader Planetarium safety prism, using neutral density and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 12.5 mm eyepiece. I am proud of this dedicated solar telescope as I made it myself around a used Jaegers 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!
