Details:
Near perfect conditions to image a close up of sunspot AR2835 on the Sun today.
The overall dimension is slightly shorter than the ~142000 km of Jupiter's diameter while our Earth could easily fit in the umbral region of the sunspot, which is around 50000km wide!
During the Summer days we have more than 18 hours of sunlight here in the Outer Hebrides, in the NorthWest of Scotland, so I had all the time to wait until the seeing stabilised enough to get the best details from the view. And what a fantastic view!
There are great shapes in both the umbral and penumbral regions of the large sunspot, together with evolving nicely-sized pores and great granulation detail.
