The Sun is kicking up some action again...

Captured 47 subs of the Sun this afternoon with a White Light filter and the Sony RX10 IV. A few nice sunspots.

Processed in Registax. Two versions attached; one with less subs (5) in the stack and lower Wavelet sharpening, one with more subs (10) and more aggressive Wavelet sharpening. To tell the difference you have to look at the Download image. I think I like the ten (10) stack best BUT I may change my mind at any time...

Enjoy!

10 gets my vote.
Nice capture.
Has the spot that was starting to make an appearance along the edge retreated?
I shot this yesterday and there was a third patch in between these two that was fading quickly but it looked like another was edging around.
Either way, very nice set of photos.

Not too sure? But I do know AR 2715 (upper left) literally popped into existence over a matter of hours! (see http://spaceweather.com)
