It has been awhile - AR 1084

Hi all

It has been over a month since I imaged the Sun - work etc.

This active region (AR 1084) had quite a distinct spiral appearance yesterday but not as obvious in my image today. It is the first time I have seen anything like this on the Sun.
It is good to see a strong sunspot with the dark centre and lighter outer region - making a great target for the solar folk.

Lunt60, H-alpha scope, 2.5 Powermate, DMK31 and processed in Registax5.

Thanks for looking!
