The Sun today (22-04-18)

[7170]

An image of the Sun today at 2018:04:22 14:46:49 GMT taken with a Canon 5dmk2 though my ED80/HEQ5 using Baader ND film. ISO 100 and 1/2000s shutter speed with no tracking as it was a shot before moving the mount. I felt I had to take advantage of the unusually hot and sunny April weather we have had in the UK over the last week, and what better way than a shot of the sun.

One obvious sunspot visible towards the top left of the image, with three possible smaller ones to the left of it (though they could be specs of dust as the sensor needs a clean!). I've not had time to look up any details about it yet though.

Good shot.
