There's a Little Black Spot on the Sun Today

August 23rd, 2015 and the air quality here west of the Cascade Mountains was very poor due to rampaging wildfires east of the mountains. It did make for a stunning sunset, however.

 

As an added bonus, I picked up sunspots in the photo with only my 100mm lens. I had previously captured some accidentally with my 400mm lens: www.flickr.com/photos/18092121@N00/5109319595/in/photolis...

 

Here's a link to a short video I found on Youtube correlating the sunspots: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pf9kR1pWqw
