I assume most of them should be white.

Hey guys. I’m currently looking for someone located in central Florida with a dedicated solar telescope who would like to collaborate on a photo.

So I recently bought a solar filter in order to get a photo of a rocket launch transiting the sun. This Sunday there will be a falcon heavy launch from cape canaveral in Florida early in the morning so I figure it will be the perfect launch to try it out. I was wondering though if anyone in the area owns a HA solar telescope and would like to collaborate on the shot? Obviously a visible light photo would be cool but capturing it in hydrogen alpha would be even better. Please message me if anyone would be interested in going for this shot with me.

A favorite shot of mine. From November 2024.

It was cool to have a look at the SDO website to see everything going on with those spots. First time I photographed sun spots after learning of the existence of that website

I recorded the 2026 solar eclipse in Spain with a GoPro HERO11 equipped with the Max Lens Mod, trying to capture a half-all-sky view of the eclipse, and in particular of the Moon's shadow sweeping across the horizon (on YT to enjoy the 4K).

One can also spot Venus and a few bright stars during the totality phase!

Hier ein Bild davon

This total solar eclipse was an absolutely amazing experience. This was taken from just outside the small town Berzosa del Lozoya, which is north of Madrid, and it has a beautiful view of the landscape. The weather was perfect and allowed us to fully enjoy this experience.

The first picture is an HDR of several pictures taken during totality. The second is a composite of pictures from both the partial and total phases with the sun setting behind the mountains while still partially eclipsed. The rest are selected pictures from the eclipse.

Equipment used:

• Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
• Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
• Canon Extender EF 2x III
• iOptron Skyguider Pro
• Sturdy tripod

Last moments before sunset

Hi!

As everyone in the beginning of imaging the sun I try to avoid forking over 1k+++ for gear and I would love to test something if possible:

There are 10 or 7nm HAlpha filter available for relatively cheap. Now I know these are way to broad to capture the chromosphere in any detail, so I was wondering if one stacked 2-4 filter on top of each other if they could produce a useful picture.

My reasoning as follows: a narrow band of 10 nm may be produced on the lower end of manufacturing spec and another one on the upper telrance, so in theory the might make the band of unblocked light narrower than on single filter

My theory is sadly too expensive for me to test, but if any of you have a couple of cheaper filters lying around, I would be super happy if you tested it

(I am trying to save my money for a proper part, probably a daystar quark since I have a couple of lenses and telescopes already)

I am happy to hear what you think about this approach

(YES, I know the is now way of cheating the H-Alpha-man, but wouldn’t it be awesome)

Good Morning Everyone! Hope You Have a Wonderful Day! Please Enjoy my Original Content!
