Sunspot 930, 2006

Astronomy images

The photo of the sun was taken with a 8-inch schmidt-cassigrain using a white light solar filter. The camara is a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi. I believe the sunspot is named 930 and has been shown on Spaceweather.com creating a shockwave on the sun when it released a coronal mass ejection. The photo has been reduced in resolution, except for the circular inset.
