Solar Hydrogen-Alpha Photography
« on: March 26, 2011, 11:13:39 AM »
For the couple of astro types we have on this board.....

No biggie, just H-Alpha I took this morning.  I'm a bit rusty.  Business and personal issues kept me from doing photography for the last year.

Same image, just the raw grayscale and an attempt at false color:






Clear Skies,

I LOVE sunspots!   :rock

They make it possible for me to communicate around the world on relative low output power to friends all over.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Well, you'd probably evaporate into nothingness before you got there,
but if you did, it'd probably deflate like a basket ball  :D

You'd need a REALLY BIG finger.

Most sunspots are the size of Earth...many even far larger.

Dang... your pic is as good as this one : http://spaceweather.com/
How much did you pay for your equipment? I think the filters for such observations are over 500$... not to mention the telescope and its mount.

Very nice  :aok
