Details:
The area all around this huge sunspot group has developed a large swirling pattern with solar flares and filaments shooting up from the surface not far from the large dark spot. The black and white image shows the pattern a lot better than the Hydrogen Alpha coloured image…it’s been so exciting to watch!
A solar telescope is the only way to see these features mentioned, please don’t try and look for them with an ordinary telescope or your camera lenses, as you REALLY will damage your eyes. Please use solar filters on all your equipment or project the Sun onto a smooth surface so everyone can enjoy this amazing object.
Images taken with a 80mm Lunt Solar Telescope and Canon 700D with a 2x Barlow lens. The white light image was taken with a 127mm refractor fitted with a solar filter and photos taken with the same camera at prime focus, exposure 1/1000th second ISO 200.
