The skies cleared over night and this morning we see that the Sun is peppered with no less than seven sunspots. And that Sunspot 4507 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 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!
