Observing the Sun with complex optical systems since 1966, and still haven't burned, melted or damaged anything.
Not blind yet, either!
Light pollution? I only observe the Sun, magnitude -26.74. Pollute that!

Something with very low stray light and high spectral purity. In this case it's a digital spectroheliograph.Rybak wrote:Fine FD! What is "the right instrument"?

Excellent result, well processed.
You demonstrate exactly the benefits of the SHG.....
Well done.
