Nice solar disc Mark with that optical combination - works well. Regards, John W (down under).

Nice set of images Brian - looks like you are in well into the cold with snow. Opposite to us down here in SE Australia (35°C today). Regards, John W.

Great capture Phil. Well done. Cheers, John W

Nice set of images Phil, well done. Cheers, John W.

Nice story Mark - you had snow - here in SE Australia we have a heat wave 37-40°C. Keep up the good work. Regards, John W.

23rd Jan. A nice steady and clear morning allowed me to take this pic of the new sunspot group AR2799 together with older groups AR2797 and 2798. Most activity this year has been in the southern hemisphere but this new group is in the north. All spots are small. Taken with a Canon 550d on a WO 81 mm...

Nice set of images martin, well done.

Nice sharp images Eric, thanks for posting. regards, John W.

Nice images Eric - at least there are some proms to keep us interested.

Thank you everybody for your kind comments. A hot night last night here in SE Australia with 24°C min and 37°C during day. Very hot due no doubt to the old Sun. Cheers John W.
PS. Hope you folk in the UK are keeping safe.

This section of the Milky Way shows the Carina region (and the Eta Carina nebula - pink). Taken from SE Australia in my backyard with observatory in the foreground. Single exposure 20 sec x 6400 iso using a Canon Ra camera mounted on a tripod. Cheers to all.

Thank you James - it took me a couple of years to perfect the dslr images on my equipment. A lot of experimenting to get it right. Cheers John W.

I processed another image I had from the 7th January 2021 showing the hedgerow prominence on the Sun's SW limb.
Canon 550d, single exposure of 1/80sec x 800 iso. Lunt 100 Ha scope (SS). Thanks for viewing.

Thanks everybody form your comments. Cheers John W. (37°C where I live today) !!!

Lots of nice images Eric - well done. Cheers, John W.

7th Jan 2021 ...The Sun showed no sunspots today and no large flares. There were however some nice prominences. This single exposure image of the SW sector was taken with a Canon 550d camera attached to a Lunt 100 Ha scope. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks Pedro - an interesting set of comparison images. Must have taken a lot of tuning. Regards, John W.

Glad you got some images taken Alexandra - cheers for the new year. John W.

Great shots Mark, well done. Cheers for the new year. John W.

I don't receive any emails. John W.

Thank you everyone for your comments. It is a challenge to take single exposure images with a dslr camera - you don't just put a camera to the telescope and go click. It takes a bit of processing to get the image right. I take all my images (inc. dso) by dslr as I enjoy it. I have tried ccd cameras ...

Yes DeepSolar64 all with a Canon 550d camera. Thanks, Cheers, JW.

A clear day today but the air was rough due to wind. These single exposure images show the southern hemisphere of the Sun with AR 2795 and 2794. First two images are at Ha wavelength thru a Lunt 100 Ha scope, the third is thru a WO 81 mm scope with herschel wedge at 540 nm showing the sunspots. Cano...
