Description

Here is a full disk and high resolution image of the large sunspot group AR3590 currently crossing the sun. The main spot is visible to the naked eye with proper protection! It is also the source of multiple X-class flares during the past few days. This was imaged through thick haze and passing clouds (I could watch the histogram move left and right during the capture)! I would have preferred to wait for better conditions but this was my one and only chance to image this active region before it was gone.
