#SUNSPOT #SUNSET: The source of all these CMEs is massive sunspot complex AR3764-67. Jan Koeman photographed them at sunset from the beach in Domburg, the #Netherlands:

"As Solar Max comes nearer, the solar disk is peppered with amazing sunspots," says Koeman. "No filter was needed to image these, together with the windmills in the North Sea."

Caution: Even when the sun is hanging low and dimmed by haze and smoke, it is still dangerous. Sunlight magnified by optics can damage your eyes. If you want to photograph the sun without a solar filter, use the camera's LCD screen as a viewfinder. Never look through the optics!
