AR 1795 and AR 1787 on July 10, 2013
Above is a rather poor image of the complex area around spots AR 1785 and AR 1787 (towards the 12 o'clock position in this image). The clouds broke for about 20 seconds and I captured around 200 frames before the skies clouded again. The image is disappointing due to poor seeing and the small number of frames I had to work with. Taken with PST+SolarMaxII with LifeCam Cimema HD.
