About this image

I had a clear day to capture the Sun and especially active regions 4296 and 4294 and 4298 coming round the limb. This is an especially large group of sunspots that may produce Earth-directed solar flares (if we're lucky). I used a focal reducer on my 6SE to be able to get the whole Sun in the image frame.
