About this image

This is my first solar image taken at home. It was imaged through an open window, as the sun was too low to be seen from the garden. I'm not sure what the orientation of the image is, as I could not identify any features that are common to my image and the GONG image for the time. The image was taken as clouds were passing, I think some clouds are shown at the bottom of the image.

Good to see your first solar image on the site John. I hope you continue to image our star especially as cycle 25 is now under way and we can expect a rise in activity over the coming years. Maybe you will consider joining the Solar Section and submitting your future images for the Section archive?
