Details:
The sunset started with a nice mirage of the sun, which at that time was too overexposed to observe the sunspots. As the sun was setting, the reddening of the atmosphere allowed me to observe not only the sunspots and also the mirages of the sunspots. The miraged sunspots look as vertical lines of spots that are changing and sometimes disappear altogether just to reappear again. In the video https://youtu.be/2z1LPR6Fv38 I included the SOHO image of the sunspots and right after this image is shown my video shows mirage sunspots in slow motion. As always the sun did its best to produce green flashes, but the same reddening of the atmosphere that allowed me to observe the sunspots, made green flashes dim.
The images are screenshots from the video.
