Hihger-res full disc and closeup of lower sunspot group, 08-25-21

Post by AJamesB »

I wanted to do an animation today, but like the last couple weeks there's just enough intermittent and fast moving clouds that it just hasn't been possible. So I had to settle for a couple still images today. Full disc is from a single capture and is decently high res, so you can see some decent detail if you zoom in a bit. The close up of the lower sunspot group lacked the detail I was hoping for, but since I went through the effort of processing it I'm posting it regardless, lol.
