Sun in the Sky

The Sun has been full of spots for several days. The sky has been full of clouds for several days. This morning I got a brief gap in the total cloud cover to grab a snap of our nearest star, luckily still spotty.
If you look closely, apart from the obvious main group there are several other groups as well as individual spots across the disc. It is false colour although there was a faint orangey tinge as it was at a very low altitude. The Sun is a greyish white in true colour but that doesn't look very sunny.
I used a piece of proprietary solar film in a home-made mount over my lens. Never try to photograph or look at the Sun without proper filtration.
