The Sun has suddenly become really active again!

Very nice! The largest spot was naked-eye (+ND5 filter) this morning.

I was determined to capture this image despite the wind, cold and cloud. It was too good an opportunity to miss especially when the sun actually had a decent number of sunspots, the sky was clear occasionally and I was home!
