This is a long delayed image from three weeks ago of the sun (there were two but this was the best) - been busy with the end of the semester and such.

This was from yesterday and is my best solar image taken with a simple inexpensive white light filter (Daystar N5 film) - however, it was with my new solar camera (ZWO ASI174MM).

Messier 95 (2024)
This is my latest version of Messier 95, the previous version is from five years ago. M95 or NGC 3351 is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 38 million light-years away and 70,000 ly across making it about half the size of our own Milky Way.
