Our star is simply stunning at hydrogen alpha wavelengths at the moment with so many different features to see, and today was no exception! Taken with the 70mm PST mod at 800mm focal length this image is a 12 pane mosaic shot with a DMK31 camera. The original image is very large and well worth a look on a large monitor, just click on the image to take through to the Flickr image host and a range of resizing options.
