Description

In my ongoing testing of my equipment in advance of the upcoming solar eclipse, I aimed the scope at the sun through a neutral density filter and captured a splendid set of sunspots.  AR13615 in particular is quite spectacular, boasting a size of more than 130,000 miles / 220,000 kilometers.  To add more intrigue, this area released an X-class solar flare just hours after this image was taken.
