Solar maximum 2013 (Share photos of the sun here)

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Hi,Dave
Yes,this new spot got great potential as the umbra is actually splitted up into 3 to 4 leaves;and the in-between
regions are good potential location for x-class flare.Had been on a 12hr look-out ever since it appearence
on the 1 apr 2013.
