This image shows the full solar disk taken in h-alpha. Some nice flares are visible off the sides of the sun, one in particular in the top left. I believe the detail visible on the surface is a mixture of real solar detial and film grain.

This image was taken with the Hydrogen Alpha filter owned by the Astronomical Socity of Western Australia, thanks to them for the loan of this expensive filter.
Camera:Canon EOS 300
Aperture:80mm
