Description

Sunspot Regions AR13567 & AR13565 on Jan 30th, 2024
(My first attempt at Solar Imaging)

The larger of the two regions, on the top left, is AR13567, is roughly as wide as earth, if a little bigger.

Fairly proud of my first attempt, with definite visible differentiation between umbra and penumbra in AR13567.

I'm using a cheapo scope, but feedback is always appreciated!
