Ol' Sol in White Light

With all the cloudy nights I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms from not going out with my telescope. But, today the clouds broke for a little bit and long enough for me to try out my solar filter on imaging the surface of the sun.

Low clouds still hung around but I got a window of about 2 minutes to capture the image here. This is a large sunspot on the sun - imaged with my planetary camera. It is a stack of 320 video frames post processed in RegiStax.
