Description

On two cold afternoons the sun came out not long before passing behind the roof of my home so I grabbed some video clips of a few regions of sunspot activity as well as the huge prominence that is catching everyone's attention these days. These days I only get about 20 minutes to image the sun in the afternoon because of obstacles that get in the way due to the sun's low elevation. Conditions were about 2/5 but I managed these images. They are stacked, sharpened subsets of 1000 frame SER videos that I further cleaned up (mainly adjusted histograms) in Photoshop with some minor tweaking of the sharpening in Topaz Sharpen AI.
