Image Details:

This evening smoke filled our skies and scattered the sunset into a deep reddish hue. The smoke was thick enough to filter the sunlight and allow me to image sunspots without using a "normal" solar filter. I still exercised extreme caution and used careful imaging techniques, as even smoke-filtered sunlight can be hazardous.
