Description

Another image of the sun, this time the central region.

As the previous one the data was acquired from Tommaso Martino using a Lunt60 B1200 with a MagZero and barlow 2x lens, processing done by myself.

Unfortunately we hadn't a flat video frame to be used to remove vignetting and dust motes, but while for the vignetting I tried to get the effect less dramatic using masks on PS, I didn't want to remove the motes as I'm the kind of person who likes to do processing on the whole image rather than with "brushy" tools.

Impressive how active has been the sun 6 years ago compared to the cycle transition it's going through nowadays.
