At Time of Increasing Solar Activity

Here are today's active solar regions (A.R.'s) showing more sunspots than I'ver captured before.  Although the sun emits all wavelengths of light and these combine to make white light, people are used to seeing the sun with an orange colour (caused by the scattering of all the shorter wavelengths but the atmosphere) and so I have increased the white balance to make it appear orange rather than the normal white colour my solar filter produces.

Here are some closer versions of the main sunspot groups being seen today:

A.R. 3163, A.R. 3166 and A.R. 3162
