Sunset and Sunspots
I just finished working on a series taken on May 16th, 2023. Visible sunspots captured from my Orland Park backyard in Cook County, Illinois, USA. *Lines over the surface are passing clouds. Solar activity has continued to peak with solar flares and sunspots making for some amazing views with the right equipment.
Sunspot AR3302 is a faint spot, while AR3305 is a more visible cluster of sunspots, which can be seen in the larger images in this collage. These shots are not photoshopped and were taken handheld.
Temperature: 64 degrees Fahrenheit
Humidity: 66%
Dewpoint: 38 degrees Fahrenheit
Viewing Time: 7:07-7:11 PM CDT
