We needed some sunspots to spice this one up a bit!

Processing info: Canon 40D, 70-200mm f/2.8L @ 200mm f/8, 2x teleconverter, Orion solar filter, 1/800 second, ISO 400, 7 frames aligned and stacked in IP, cropped + converted to JPEG with Photoshop.

Great shots Citivolus!!! I agree with the sunspot comment, it would have aided focussing MUCH better!
I got 160 shots in! and only 3 stoppages for clouds! They move quick up here!!!!
