Close-up on Active Region AR 4114, captured in H-alpha less than 12 hours after its X1.2 flare. The image shows a structured umbra-penumbra system and surrounding chromospheric texture, with fine magnetic features preserved thanks to a 52 mm diaphragm and stable acquisition. Despite difficult seeing and brief wind gusts, the result maintains scientific depth and aesthetic clarity.
