Sunspots, 12 of them to be precise, appear clustered in two active regions (AR2835 and 2836) in this image captured on a
Sunday afternoon from my backyard (June 27, 2021). The larger spots show clear definition of umbra and penumbra after image processing. The capture process started with a video clip shot with an SLR attached to a scope, which is then used as a source of numerous stills which are "stacked" by software to produce a single sharp image - an approach I have described on prior posts.
The "little" spots on the face of the sun are not so little in some ways.
The larger ones in the active region AR2835 here, are actually larger in size than the earth.
