The Sun on June 1, 2024

 I accidentally permanently deleted my full disk white light AVIs today before processing,, so I just have a single, record shot taken throught haze. However, I did manage to get some decent video in H-Alpha mode, and I have included those images and crops. As Spaceweather reports: "Sunspots AR3691 and 3697 have 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic fields that harbor energy for X-class solar flares." The white light image is deceptively peaceful; the HA images tella very different story!
