AR 3014 has pride of place in the first image, captured with PST-DS 40 mm and a Mallincam Skyraider SLP camera. 450 frames were stacked from an original capture of 1000. AR 3014 has a complex magnetic field and is likely to produce flares. This image shows those complex, looping fields quite well. The second image, a full disk panorama, was captured with a Mallincam DS 2.3+ camera (3 stacked images, stitched in Affinity Photo).
