Solar Observing with a PST

With a bit of a clear patch, before the afternoon thunderstorms set in I took the opportunity to catch a look at the sun.
At first the views were a little disappointing, that was until I got the filter tuning just right & swapped to an 8 mm Teleview Radian.
What a difference
Not being much of an Astro-photographer, but still wanting to share the beauty of this view (which i cant get out of my head) I have attached a (crude) sketch.
Sunspot 944 is in itself interesting having survived 5 solar rotations !
Picking up a new # each time it comes back into view
I hope someone out there might be able to image this.
