Details:
A Fujifilm Finepix S8200 Bridge camera in B/W mode, was fitted with a Baader solar filter, set to ISO 100, f/6.5 at 1/800s exposure and mounted on a Merlin, auto-tracking mount. The camera was set to its maximum of 40x zoom. Six sets of 10 images were captured in rapid succession in burst mode. The best 58 images were stacked in Registax 5 to produce the final image Which shows many sunspots on the disk as well as prominent, faculae.
