This is a shot I took today, in the center of the Sun you can see a very long filament. It's longer than the distance between Earth and Moon.
On my blog I share my passion for astrophotography and just about everything else that goes on in the sky, both day and night.

Sunspot AR2192
Today I finally got some clear skies and a chance to see the huge sunspot AR2192. It was a fantastic view through the solar telescope and I don't think I ever seen such a huge sunspot.

Missing: Nearby star
For almost three weeks now, our closest star, the Sun, is missing. At this time of the year in Östersund, it's usually visible between 08:00 and 17:00. Last know position in the sky was on October 2nd, low in the west. Hopefully the weather will clear up soon so I can get a good look at the huge sunspot AR2192.
