Solar imaging is something I'm still struggling with getting the hang of, especially sharp focusing, but this one didn't turn out too bad. Lots of active areas to enjoy.

Hi Tom. A very nice solar image with your SolarMax 70mm. My Raben Systems solar maps website shows that we are up to 2933 active regions today, so you caught a lot of them in your capture. Thanks for sharing your great solar capture with us Tom and keep looking up!
