The Sun has been ever so quite over the past six months, but today the solar surface showed two small Sunspots AR2262 & AR2263, a couple of large filaments and also two prominences on each side of the solar limb.
The image was taken with a 80mm Lunt solar telescope and a Canon 700D camera with a 3x Barlow lens attached.
Exposures were 1/200th second and ISO400, 15 images were stacked in Registak6 and processed in PS CS4. This time I played around with the Hue/Saturation in Photoshop to obtain the more natural golden colour of the Sun instead of the usual red colour as seen through the H-alpha telescope :-)
