Seven Numbered Sunspots on the Solar Disk

Skies in Sedona have cleared for now but more Monsoon rain is on the way. But through those mostly clear skies we see that the the solar disk displays seven numbered sunspots, and that all of these sunspots have stable magnetic fields that pose little threat for strong 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 25 mm Clave 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!
