Taken through a Hydrogen telescope. I put the A95 up to the eye piece and tried a shot.

Nice shot oal !


yagimax : Sunspots usually stay for days at a time mostly . Right now it's blank . But you can check SpaceWeather (http://www.spaceweather.com/) daily for the sun update . Just click on the sun in the left collumn .

Sensor dust?

No , those are definitly SunSpots . There is some sensor spots but those are bigger than the SunSpots .

What kind of hydrogen scope?

Those sunspots look typical of those taken through a "white light" filter:
