Today's Sun

This has been an unusual year; first the pandemic, then more clouds than I have seen, constantly, in decades. I know I've mentioned it before, but it has been difficult to get any images of the sun or anything at night. This morning, with no clouds, I went for the sun, and got something, at least. As shown in the image below, which was taken in hydrogen alpha light (around 652 nm, if I recall correctly), we can see one sunspot, AR2767, which is a member of the NEW solar cycle, cycle 25. Also visible are a few prominences on the East side of the sun. This is a stack of the best 2500 of 5000 frames taken to make the image.
