A Spotty Sunset

On May 3rd, 2013 smoke from nearby forest fires tinted the sunset in the San Francisco Bay Area an unusual shade of orange-red. The smoke also dimmed the sun enough to make it possible to see the larger sunspots that day without a protective filter. (The smaller ones were obscured by fairly strong heat rippling.)

Click on the image, then click on it again to get a larger version where the sunspots are clearly visible.

Earlier that day, the sunspots looked like this (photographed through an ND 3.9 filter):

While I was observing (and shooting) the milky way, a nice Iridium flare appaered.
Canon 6D, samyang 14mm, 30s, f2.8, 6400 iso

After a few search, this is Iridium 13.
