I setup my 8" Dob with the ND5 Baader film today before cricket to show my partner the sun through it for the first time.

She was a little underwhelmed that it was just a bright, grey disc with spots on it, and no flares or flames or swirly bits. I explained that those sorts of details are the domain of the more expensive and more experienced solar observer, such at the fantastic image in the OP.

Which is all just a long winded way of saying that this is a timely and terrific image you've got there Matt! Thanks for sharing.
