Sunspots during Sydney's Dust Storm.

Well it's been an amazing and eerie time with the dust storm engulfing our cities and towns.

This morning at around 9am the sun managed to peek through the dust to reveal an amazing sight.
The sun's disk was dimmed enough so that I could safely take a photo of it's surface sunspot activity without using any filters whatsoever.

The sun's image looks like it's taken through a solar filter but as you can see, it's not, it shows trees to the right and the dull dusty sky background.

Click on the thumbnail then press F11 to view the full page and scroll down for the details.
