A large fiery prominence graced the sun on the 9th July. Despite the poor seeing the 70mm PST made a decent job of getting a good capture of this...

With the large prom and large active regions, this quadrant of the sun was looking very photogenic!

Despite NASA predictions of M-class flares, these active regions have remained very quiet, and now are slowly but surely decreasing in activity, never the less are still photogenic!

Our star really is looking nice at the moment, monster active regions, spots, filaments and prominences. Lots to see!!! Taken with the 70mm PST mod and DMK31 camera.
