It’s been almost impossible for me to get a high resolution of the sun until recently as clouds would roll in the moment I obtain focus or the air turbulence would distort the surface features. Also it is very cold out and my scope doesn’t like it.
It also appears Active Region AR3961 has started to become more active as it rotates towards Earth

What are those dark spots? Is the sun turning off? /s
That’s great to see. Looks like something you’d see under a microscope. I guess in a way it is.
Those pictures are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
F’ing stunning. Wonderful photos, thanks for sharing!
Dammit now I’m even more tempted to look straight at it than before.
Thanks OP. I looked directly at your first photo and now I’m blind in both eyes.
Do you guys get this kind of picture looking at other planets? Or stars? What would Betelgeuse look like from our vantage point?
How much a set up like this cost? Genuinely curious! Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing!!
Can someone please record the sun but make it an hour long or something? I want to watch an hour long movie of just the sun.
Absolutely beautiful shots, my friend.
Also I chuckled when I saw the solar panels leaning against the solar telescope. I’m not familiar with the equipment so it may be necessary, just funny, at least in my head…
This is incredible!!!!! The quality is fantastic! 👏🏼👏🏼
I’d love to own a setup like yours one day! I don’t even own a telescope at the minute.
Out of curiousity, can you view the sun with your own eyes like in the photos or is there a lot of post processing to get those details into view for the final images?
Amazing shots op 😄
The transition between the third and fourth photo is highly satisfying.
Really thought I was looking at an electron microscope image of egg fertilization when I scrolled past this.
This is amazing!!! Is there a way to download it? It looks genuinely so pretty!! Amazing capture
This is so freaking cool! Your skills terrify me a little… i would hate to get my pictures taken and see my pores from a mile away with your camera😂
