Equipment

70mm f/6 ED refractor, Coronado SM60 H-alpha filter, 4x Televue Powermate, Skynyx 2-2M camera

Description

Active region 1520 displayed was one of the biggest sunspots in this solar cycle. Here it is imaged with a novel technique where three images made at slightly different wavelengths through a H-alpha filter are used as seperate RGB channels. This week I am blogging daily about this technique which anyone with a tunable solar H-alpha filter can use to make more colorful images of the Sun.

Equipment

Sony DSLR A350, Super Telephoto Lens 600-1300 mounted on a tripod.

Description

Portland, OR is cloudy most of the time. Whenever the cloud disappears, I take pictures of astro photos of objects that are predominant in that time. June 27th was one of those days;I turned my telescope towards the quarter moon and I saw the stunning details. I ran inside before the clouds covered the moon and took a shot of it.
