Here's a quick record image of today's sun between clouds. The image has some artifacts due to cloud processing during stacking, but it clearly shows today's active regions. ARs 3691 and 3695 are adjacent and are the largest on the disk. AR 3691 has the potential to produce X-Class flares. I've also provided a cropped image of the spots.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
