Description

This is my first video of images of the sun. I am figuring out what I have to do for the coming solar eclipse on April 8th!
These images were taken between 3:36 and 3:41 pm on February 24th, most of them have 10 s gaps but some have longer intervals, played at 10 fps.
The shadows you see moving across the solar disk are branches from a tree in my neighbourhood - I waited too long to get set up and the sun was getting low...
The huge sunspot group 13590 is quite impressive and you can read all about its activity on the spaceweatherlive website:

Let's all hope for clear skies on April 8th!
