4 years ago today I photographed my first #InternationalSpaceStation #SolarTransit! #WillamOptics 70mm refractor fitted with a #ThousandOaks glass solar filter + #ASI120MC camera. The transits take less than a second so you need a fast frame rate to capture it. This is a stack of the 31 frames that contained the #ISS #ISSSolarTransit #ISSTransit

Ok, I'm shook! I decided to stick my #ASI120MC + 2x Barlow on my #SkyWatcher #HeritageMiniDob and try to photograph tonight's 10% #WaxingCrescentMoon. This is the best 50% of a 400 frame video. I can't believe this result!! What a fabulous little telescope 🥰

There were plenty of #Prominences visible on the #Sun on 3rd April 2023. #CoronadoPST H-alpha solar telescope, 2x Barlow & #ZWO #ASI120MC camera. I took a 1,000 frame video & stacked the best 50%. #Sunspot group #AR13270 is visible in the 3rd image
