Zooming in on Sunspots from my Backyard

This video of the sun is the shortest video I ever produced, but I hope people still enjoy it. This solar capture is from the data you saw me capturing during my live stream on July 5, 2021.
This is the equipment I used:
Telescope:
Explore Scientific AR102
Camera:
ZWO ASI174MM
Solar Filter:
DayStar Quark Chromosphere
Mount:
Celestron AVX
Focuser:
Rigel Systems Electronic Focuser
Energy Rejection Filter:
Astronomik L1 UV-IR
Capture Software:
SharpCap 3.2

[@AmbiguousMan724]

@@christianstinespring1098 Reality based science and not academic pseudo-science. The Sun is not a burning ball of gas that's on fire, because I'd like to know how you can ignite and sustain a flame in a vacuum without oxygen. Also, what's sustaining this combustion and how is it not consuming it's own mass if it's burning it?

[@erickpritchard3717]

@@AmbiguousMan724You have to be trolling First of all, it’s not combustion, it’s nuclear fusion. And second of all, mass is not “consumed” as that would imply it disappears after the reaction ends and the energy is released. Mass is transformed, when the nuclear fusion process occurs, the subatomic particles change their arrangement to form heavier atoms from the union of lighter atoms. This is process that human has also been able to harness and use for energetic production purposes. And if you’re gonna come up with some stupid shit about not believing that the sun works like that and that we know how to do it, I would have to invite you to take a 1 week tour of Chernobyl and also to drink a couple ounces of the purest water from the lakes of Hiroshima 😊
