Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

This is a long delayed image from three weeks ago of the sun (there were two but this was the best) - been busy with the end of the semester and such. I eventually would like to do more animations but that takes a lot of time and I need more general practice. I like how the prominences turned out as well as the surface detail especially around the active region with the sunspots. I especially like how the two main prominences are actually connected to each other as shown in the image.

Unfortunately I don't know the designations since they were collected a few weeks ago. If you go on the solar websites that I know it is straightforward to get the designations, however, it is not so easy. I like processing these images but it is much different than processing deep sky stuff. The next purchase would be an autofocuser however the reason I haven't purchased it yet is that I use this scope for visual solar and I find using the manual focus knob much easier than anything else for visual purposes. On the other hand, all you really need to do is unscrew two allen wrench push pin screws (for a ZWO EAF) and you can make it manual so I think that is next.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
