22 panel mosaic of the Sun in Hydrogen Alpha This image I took on the 5/4/15 and is composed of 22 individual frames joined together to create the full solar disc.

I was just playing around in photoshop and decided to celebrate a string of clear days I would make an animation of solar images.
All the pics were roughly taken 24 hours apart. Today saw a break in the weather and one I took full advantage of with a quick imaging session on the Sun.
I have shown two different perspectives of it, one using false colour to give it the familiar 'yellow sun' appearance and the other is an inverted image. I hope you enjoy!
I captured these white light shots of the Sun with AR1944 proudly on display on the 6th of January 2014. I used a full aperture Baader Solar photographic film ND3.8(strictly not for visual use) on my 150mm reflector shot with my Canon 450D. It is a stack of 54 single exposures to build up the detail.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Back in June 2012 a celestial event that wont happen again for another 105 years occurred, it was the transit of Venus in front of the Solar disc. At the time we were lucky enough to travel to the island of Santorini in Greece to see the transit as it would give us more time and hopefully better weather than further north where we lived at the time. The whole trip was fantastic, the weather was perfect every day but then on the morning of the transit I woke to be greeted with the scene below. Needless to say that this didn't inspire me with much hope of being able to catch the rising Sun with transit in full swing. Thankfully though the cloud was only localised over the island and down to the horizon it was clear leaving a thin gap between the ocean and the clouds. I didn't take any specialised imaging equipment over with me just my camera and 75-300mm zoom lens and I also fashioned a white light filter for the lens from a Pringles container, still I managed to capture a few nice images and I'm glad I did because the next opportunity to see a transit of Venus is a long ways off. |
