I can confirm via Patioboater's Crappy Lungs-o-meter(TM) that the air quality outside in this smokey sunset is terrible. Pretty sunset, tho'. June 2, 2025. Wolverine Lake, Michigan. #sunset #photography #sun #sunspots #astrophotography #michigan #wildfire #wildfires #smoke #lake #lakes #art

Conditions weren't amazing today, but I hadn't been out imaging in awhile so I took some images of these massive sunspots. Now I just need this wildfire smoke to clear out!

A few more pretty pictures of the Sun from last night's sunset. I took the paddleboat out to check out how clear the smokey skies might be for the aurora last night. The aurora fizzled, but I got to catch a lovely sunset.
