We are in the middle of a heatwave today with the temperature at 35 degrees C…it’s so so hot for taking pictures of the Sun…. but I did it :-D
The sunspots closest to the western limb are AR 3910 & AR 3912, toward the middle are AR 3917 & AR 3916.
Images were taken with a Seestar telescope with attached solar filter; twenty images were stacked in RegiStax6 and processed n PS.
