The Sun seems to be getting a little active for a change. It's so refreshing to be able to see a sunspot and the related activity around it.
Took this one today at 15:27 UT with my Coronado SM90 DS & BF30 with the SBIG ST2000XM. Exposure is .010 second. The proms were captured at .030 second. 3 prominence shots were aligned and combined, autodark applied. The chromosphere was captured at .010 second. The sharpest 2 were aligned and combined. All in CCDSoft. Processing, layering and color done with Adobe Photoshop CS2.
