Description


Another picture taken with my trusty webcam this time mounted in a special teslescope that only sees light at 680 nm, ie the red bits of the suns surface (avoiding the blindingly hot atmosphere of the sun). You see flares and granules on the surface and it changes every hour. Its cool, sorry hot.

H alpha filter? Great image with a web cam! Those scopes are getting almost inexpensive enough for me to get one... someday!

Wow and to think that this little "burp" is thousands of miles high . What scope were you looking through ?

The telescope is a Coranado Personal Solar Telescope that has a Hydrogen alpha filter. It sees only light at 680nm wavelength, useless for looking through neighbours bedroom windows, but great for looking at the sun. Withit, you only see the surface of the sun, the extra bright solar atmosphere is filtered out.

What a great telescope and awsome solar flare capture. Really pro stuff here! Amazing to think that those flare are close in size to the Earth. Do you think you'll be able to get some shots of comet Swan?

Cool shot, these are the ones that I am interested in, being a radio ham, solar flares and sun spot activity affect my radio waves. Some times the surf is good sometimes, it gets a bit rough. Great shot, glad you filtered out that eye searing stuff.
