Active Sun Today - 03rd April 2006 was created by michaeloconnell
Pulled out the PST today to see an extremely active Sun. Very active group of sunspots near the centre of the Sun are causing all sorts of activity. these spots are also visible in white light. Below is a quick snap I took through the eyepiece of my PST.

I wouldn't say that at all ... the image looks very clean to me .... that's what you see through a PST.

No, that's what the sun looks like in H-Alpha light, they are convection cells on the surface.
