#SkyWatch #Astrophotography #SolarPhotography is surprisingly hard. I'm still working on focus and proper exposure. But I thought the clouds were interesting, and the sunspots are cool. Never photograph the sun without a proper solar filter! #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography #Sun #SolarPhotography Taking pictures of the sun can damage your equipment and, more importantly, your eyes. It's also challenging. I bought a solar filter so I could do it safely and am reasonably happy that I captured two sun spots in this first image. #StillLearning

Getting some practice in for the forthcoming #eclipses. Today’s sun has sunspots! #kerrvilleeclipse #solareclipse2024 #solarphotography

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fiiiine. *cough*

I've been doing a lot of solar imaging lately, tracking the sun for hours and taking 15s recordings for every minute of time, then turning the recordings into individual frames and into movies, showing solar activity at 900x or 1800x real time.
This one is particularly cool, lots of activity throughout the recording and a bonus Coronal Mass Ejection right at the end.

I've been recording the sun in H-alpha for over a week, yesterday I finally caught a pretty powerful solar flare (M-class).
The linked movie is sped up 1800x vs real-time.

The attached image provides a better idea of the intensity of the flare (in H-alpha light)

Still working on my solar astrophotography post-processing skills.

New Starlight focuser came today for my Lunt 50mm solarscope. Then I managed to get my ZWO EAF attached. No Sun until *maybe* Sunday. Sigh

Sometimes I also dip my toe into #solarphotography .
This kind of #astrophotography requires a lot of safety gear and you should never do it unless you know what you’re doing and have the correct equipment. Nobody wants to set their eyeballs or #telescope on fire right? 😁
Here’s a couple of solar shots from a while back, one showing a #sunspot and the other a prominence! They were shot using a specialised #hydrogenalpha filter and a mono camera
