CaK Full Disk 8th May

Seems to be lots of white plage on the sun today; these are frothy magnetically 'hot' regions associated with active regions.  Taken with the 40mm scope at 550mm focal length with the home made CaK filter and the PGR Chameleon 3 (IMX265) camera.  Hoping the cloud breaks up a bit later on so I can get some more imaging in today on what looks like will be the hottest day of the year so far...
