Intro to H-alpha Solar Imaging
Intro to H-alpha Solar Imaging
Last October, Lunt Solar Telescopes was having a pre-Mercury Transit sale. I jumped in and bought a 60mm solar scope with double-stack attachment. It hasn't seen much use as I have been waiting for perfect outdoor weather. In the meantime, I've been studying how to shoot the sun in H-alpha. Today I spent much of the day collecting videos and hammering data on the computer. Came up with this image. Watch for more as we head into many more days of warm weather.

Hi Steve,
Could be just me, but I can't open the image.

That's awesome Steve! Was there a lot of processing involved, or is it WYSIWYG?

Bruce,
Took WAY longer to process than to capture. Especially since it was taken with a black & white video camera.
Have a good weekend.

Re: Intro to H-alpha Solar Imaging
That is a really great image. Did you have to take a lot of exposures to get the flare?
Nice job,

Beautiful Steve. Very impressive. My fantasy would be to buy an ASSNE calendar for 2021 with 12 photos from 12 astrophotographers in the club. We have some real talent.
