I took a picture of the sun today on my lunch break. So many sunspots! We're at the peak of the 11 year cycle of solar activity, so it's to be expected.

M45, aka The Pleiades, Seven Sisters, Subaru. Some slight nebulosity is visible due to starlight reflecting off of the diffuse nebula that the stars were born of. Time to get to darker skies to bring that out more!
