About this image

The sun is active enough at the moment to get interesting images even with a small telescope (40mm aperture), low cost sensor and white light filter. Quick to set up and take down too, just time spent waiting for enough blue sky to take a few images. These were taken remotely using indi_pylibcamera on an RPi4 at the scope and ccdciel on a linux laptop inside the house so I could actually see the image well enough to focus the scope.
