Solar Imaging on a partly cloudy afternoon

The weather forecast called for a partly cloudy day, but it was mostly cloudy...
Loading the trusty C5 with the full aperture Baader Solar Filter and popping in the 2" MaxviewII adapter eyepiece, I did manage to get some nice sunspot shots in-between clouds and suckerholes....
Sunspot groupings 1689 & 1690 were putting on a nice display this day...
#1689 displayed a great chain of magnetic eruptions...can't say I have ever seen such like it before. Very cool....
No filters this time, just straight through using the Canon Powershot S3 and the handy little pocket Samsung camera.
A very satisfactory hour with the sun.
