Sunday's sun

Peter Jackson of Te Anau often sends me photographs he's taken of the heavens. Aurora are his speciality and star-scapes of wondrous design but today he's focused on Tama nui i te Rangi and has caught the Great Disc looking spotty.
He says:
Kia ora,
Finally a bit of a clearing in the clouds and fog!
Here's a shot taken thru a 150mm f12 refractor with a 45 South solar filter. Photo taken with a handheld Canon Ixus 500 (It's 1st photo thru telescope) revealed probably the best spots for several years?
So a great time to be sun bathing (with appropriate solar filters of course!) &/or looking out for auroral activity.
