Naked-eye Sunspots

[El Paso Eric]

I've been looking at assembling a solar imaging system for more than a year now. But with a fairly serious dust storm that passed through, I was able to image the Sun with nothing more than the camera, lens & tripod.

Thanks for looking

Great capture - it is a massive spot!

Thanks Matt. These dust storms occur regularly in the Spring. But rarely are there such large sunspots at the same time.
