The Sun on 28 March 2017

Canon EOS1200D with Leitz (Minolta) MR-Telyt 500/8 telephoto mirror lens design, using D5 solar observation filter foil.

The D5 filter lets through only 1/1000 of one percent of the sunlight. Do not even think of looking at the sun through an optical instrument without using an appropriate filter. Never. Ever.

More on the the current status of the sun here:
www.spaceweather.com/

The Sun is at a minimum of its activity cycle, with only very few sunspots. The larger region is 2644, the smaller, in the 9 o'clock position, 2045. Both are sunspot "archipelagos" with some apparent bridges islets between the individual larger spots that make up each of the regions.
