Continuing my project with my Seestar 50 of trying to catch the solar disk each day of the month for a composite of the sunspots was the only shot I got today when clouds broke for a moment after a brief storm. The spots appear to be migrating towards the equator again after having been spread out in Jan - March. I'll post the 4 months for comparison at the end of April.

Is there something in (above?) the air? For some reason I now think your banded disc looks like an Easter egg!

I could probably put the image in PS and warp it so it’s egg shaped!
