Brierley Hill Solar 17 Mar 16

The sun was low and the transparency poor at 5pm this afternoon meaning I really had to lift the gain on the PGR Blackfly camera, but this disk came out ok.

AR12524 that has appeared on the north eastern limb is a real monster of a spot, and weather permitting should be very photogenic in the days ahead. Taken with the homebrew CaK filter and the 40mm scope at 700mm focal length.
