That is a good catch, Young :thumbsup: Some 'sunspots' on sol abouts now too.
In your photo, the smokey haze with the sun close to the horizon - can cause these 'sunspots' to appear in a standard photo from a standard camera - ie: without using 'filters', tho would be better to see, using a focal length of 100mm atleast, 200mm or more the merrier ? :thumbsup:

Thanks for your inspiring comments, Bob.
I am a beginner and getting attracted to our universe slowly.
I felt it was amazing to watch the Sun with my naked eyes the other day.
Not having enough time I just grabbed my camera. Next time I will get ready to put my telescope to zoom into it. I wonder what could happen.
My curiosity keeps growing.

Looks like photo is taken in Dubai with its almost permanent hazy skies.
