Northern Polar Regions 5th August

While there may appear at first glance that not much is going on in this image, the bright patches of polar faculae, normally associated as white light features of the photosphere, here they also shine through the chromosphere as bright points.  Polar faculae are more prominent during solar minimum.  Taken with the Coronado SM90 double stacked with the Daystar Quark.
