On December 9, 10 and 11, the sun took a short break showing its disk completely blank. But after that short nap, numerous sunspots quickly began to grow in the southern hemisphere.
This morning (December 16), I photographed this beautiful archipelago of sunspots, which remind us that the new solar cycle is underway.
To take this picture I used a Coronado Solarmax II 90mm aperture solar telescope and a ZWO 183MM camera.
