About this image

For once a clear sunny morning and after an earlier session on Venus, I was able to switch to my smaller refractor and the Quark Chromosphere to look at the Sun in H Alpha. There is only one rather tiny sunspot at the moment but there were a couple of nice promineces as shown in this image.
