Sol Ha light - 22/02/2022.



"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. 

We are a way for the universe to know itself."

Through the kitchen window.


Blue sky, scudding clouds and COLD outside.

A quick morning image of Sol.

Considering the photo was taken through the closed kitchen window I'm happy with the results.

Hydrogen Alpha - 17/2/22.

With a quick break in the clouds this morning, I managed to capture a few prominence shots. 

I placed a black cloth over the telescope and my head. There was a marked improvement in prominence contrast.



Sat in the garden with a black sheet over my head, on a windy dull day... 

I wonder what the neighbours thought!

Eiffel Tower on the Sun - 06/02/22

Rained heavily this morning, but around 2.30pm the clouds parted, and out came the Sun.

Old Sol wasn't the only object to be seen.. Helen noticed that the large prominence on view looked like the Eiffel Tower!
