About this image

This rather eerie misty image of sunspots was a result of a determination to get an image with this particular camera after a previous morning of one technical problem after another, cluminating in a nice view of these sunspots on screen and the software failing to record any of the camera's video. By the time I had fixed the problem the Sun was out of sight from my garden pier. The next morning I had heavy fog which only thinned enough to pick out the Sun a few minutes before it was blocked from view. Just to check all was well I took this image and did manage to record it. It has an ethereal feel to it thanks to the mist and fog.
