Wow, this is my clearest solar image to date! Between excellent seeing conditions and pinpoint focus, I really like how this image came out. Check out the fine details in the sunspots!

I got a new astro camera and rather than being color like a DSLR, it is monochrome. This means that I use filters to capture the different colors/wavelengths of light and then combine them in post-processing. For solar imaging, I simply shoot in monochrome and then colorize during post-processing. I've included the mono version and my colorized version.

Today's sun (3:04 PM) and tonight's moon (6:38 PM). I'm a big fan of a thin crescent!

Both shot with the same basic gear: SkyWatcher 72ED + 2.25x Barlow + QHY 168C. Moon was captured with an Optolong L-Quad and Sun with a Thousand Oaks solar film.
Today's sun! Conditions weren't amazing, but the sunspots were quite nice.

Yesterday's sun! Lots of sunspots concentrated in that one area and they are massive.

#ESA : The active region of #sunspots responsible for these flares is now approaching the centre of the #solar 
disk and will soon point 
directly towards #Earth 
.
We expect further #flares from this region in the coming days. A #CME associated with any future flare 
is very likely to cause #geomagnetic disturbances when it reaches our #planet. https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_weather/Sun_fires_off_largest_flare_of_current_solar_cycle
