[John W (John Wilkinson)]

5th May. Some nice sunspots in the southern hemisphere of the sun today. I had to wait till there was a gap in the clouds to take this image at 540 nm. Single exposure with Canon 550d camera attached to a 81 mm WO refractor. Active region 3004 appears to be increasing in size and magnetic complexity .. it has produced a few C and M class flares so far.

Thanks for viewing.
