Cluster of sunspots April 27th

Post by JohnW »

April 27th Australia. A cluster of sunspots today on the Sun's western side. These two images are single exposures taken with a Canon 550d camera thru a WO 81 mm refractor using a Baader wedge at 540 nm. Compare with my H alpha image yesterday (26 April Sun). Thanks for viewing.
