A Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 bridge camera was fitted with a Baader solar filter and mounted on a static tripod. The camera was set to 60x optical zoom, 1/1000s and ISO100. 138 images of the Sun were captured and the images were precisely cropped in Nicola's AstroCrop. The best 128 images were stacked in Autostakkert! wavelet processed in Registax 6 and post-processed in the Gimp 2.10.

AR2827 is clearly visible near the middle of the disk and a new active region is appearing near the bottom left of the image

Always interesting to see the sun. Look fairly quiet at the moment
