A currently active region of sunspots, which has produced C- and M-class solar flares, but only a tiny chance of X-class flares.

Photo taken using a Nikon D3200 attached via T-ring/adapter to a Celestron NexStar 6SE SCT with an attached filter.

The necessary warning:
*NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN THROUGH A TELESCOPE WITHOUT AN APPROPRIATE FILTER.  DOING SO CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR EYES AND/OR THE TELESCOPE ITSELF.

An illustration for the adult film troupe's Tiamat's Bodyguard.  Leona's character Thyra, an amazon fighter, heads for a final confrontation with Queen Tiamat with the aid of the queen's former personal bodyguard Garou, played by Arsen Lupe.  They've soundly circumvented the castle's defenses, but what will the Queen herself have in store for these two?

A cover design for a Maverick Vice film, the group produced before hiring Marcus and Talitha.  Garou (Lupe) has loyally served Queen Tiamat (Hildegard) in every way, until he uncovers a scheme which threatens the existence of a colony outside their country's borders.  Now he must choose between his Queen and his conscience, and Thyra, (Maxima) an Amazon from this colony will help him make this decision...

Background was found elsewhere, can't remember where anyway, but credit to its creator.

The staff of Maverick Vice Studio, an adult film production (do not call it a "porn studio" around Regina!) outlet established by actors dissatisfied with "mainstream" erotica production and intent on finding a new way to work, where the actors can enjoy it more in a less "work-like" environment.  When they're not producing movies, they give the MST3K treatment to erotic ("lemon") fan fiction (essentially a critique in the form of a snarky commentary; if you've seen Mystery Science Theater 3000 or any Rifftrax commentary, this should instantly be familiar).  

The cast from left to right and their off-camera roles:
Talitha Starr - The visual effects/editor/prop girl.  That's a 50 gallon drum of Cards Against Humanity reference that she's sitting on.
Marcus Magnum - The chief cameraman

[THE MAIN RIFFERS:]
Regina Hildegard - The founder and writer/director (in costume for one project, it seems)
Leona Maxima - The location scout
Arsen Lupe - The co-writer and Regina's first hire (also in costume for a project)
