New Sunspot

It was a quiet day for solar prominences, but a new sunspot showed up.  This was my first attempt to photograph sunspot in hydrogen-alpha.  The seeing wasn't great because, well, it's July in Alabama.  In any case, this one was pretty interesting to look at through the eyepiece as there's a lot of activity around the spot.  Though the spot itself appears small relative to the rest of the sun, it's about 71% of the size of Earth.
