This morning's sun, produced from a stack of ten images taken through a Baader solar filter with my Sony a-290 and Minolta 70-300mm zoom lens, using 1/2500s at f/5.6 and ISO 100. Processed by PIPP to normalise the images, then stacked and darkened by Registax. Final processing in Photoshop to add the Orange filter.
The present group of spots on the right solar equator look as though they are going to be joined by the new spots that we saw forming on the left upper limb, whilst another large spot is just coming into view on the left solar equator. Might get some auroral activity out of this, as it rotates into view, perhaps - it has already been responsible for a massive X-flare and Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).
