Amazing sunspots!

Let me start by saying never look directly at the sun, with or without optical aids! These photos were taken with a purpose-built Coronado solar scope and a filtered 300mm lens on my Pentax DSLR.

These are the largest, most impressively-structured sunspots I have personally seen - certainly the best I've photographed. I should imagine we can expect further outbursts - maybe even aurorae - over the coming weeks!
