Filipp, Helioviewer can be used to “ share “ the Sun in absence of a scope. You can be creative with the layering and share the images here! And remember, these are solar binoculars with built in filters. Over the objective filters are available separately for standard binos too. James Thank you fo...

I do so hope that you can get back to a normal life - very soon Thank you for your good wish to me! I hope for a change for the better in the life of our little family, because my mother also prays for this every day. May the Lord be with you. I am Anglican so I can relate to both Catholic and Orth...

Filipp Romanov

Thank you James for your kind words to me (both about my photos and about my trouble in life). I was born on the date of Orthodox Easter (on April 27, 1997) and every day I pray about this our trouble! The police did not help us, although we have a lot of videos: threats to our lives, theft of prope...

it looks very quiet where you live. Terry, Alexandra, thanks for your kind words. There were few people that day, because it was Victory Day, and many people went to the center of Moscow for festive events (or temporarily left Moscow). Only a few passing people are interested in this (their voices ...

Before sunset, I captured a video of the green flash - during the transit of Mercury! I am attaching this video:

I am also attaching the photo (the result of video processing in RegiStax 5.1).

The altitude of the Sun became lower, the solar disk was distorted by the influence of the earth's atmosphere.

Up to 15 hours local time, clouds often covered the sun's disk, but after this time, the weather was clear and sunny, with a rare high temperature for May, so I had to periodically shelter from the heat in the shade of trees, so I watched and photographed with breaks of 15 minutes.

I noticed that the time between the first and second contacts was very short - much faster than Venus during the 2012 transit. I watched it visually (through the eyepiece) and made several videos and photos.

Hello all! I publish my photos of transit of Mercury on May 9, 2016, from Moscow. I took photos with my camera Canon EOS 60D (some with 2x Barlow lens) and my telescope Sky-Watcher BK P2001 EQ5 (with filter from Baader AstroSolar visual film). On May 6, 2016, my laptop broke down (it was repaired on...

Thanks for your positive comments about my photos! After July 22, I no longer saw this comet with the naked eye.

Hello all! I am attaching my new photos of the comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) taken by me with my camera Canon EOS 60D (on the tripod), from Yuzhno-Morskoy (near Nakhodka), Russia. Photo 1: July 22, 2020. 67mm, 30 sec., ISO-3200, f/5.6. That evening, I still observed this comet with the naked eye. Photo ...

Hello all! Several times, having previously prepared, I managed to capture the transit of the ISS. Once I tried to shoot the transit of a large artificial satellite, but the angular size was too small for visibility on the video. When shooting sunspots, I unplanned photographed and took videos of ai...

Thank you all for your kind words! I continued to see this comet with the naked eye on July 18 and 21.

Thanks Rainer!

Hello Terry,

Thank you, I have been waiting for clear weather for a long time, and finally I was able to take photographs in which two tails of the comet are visible.

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank to all for your comments! I was about 14 when I started observing and at 55 it’s still with me. Astronomy does take time. For example, since I started studying astronomy by self-education in 2009, it has been cloudy during most of the eclipses. Congratulations on being recognized for the work ...

Filipp Romanov

Thank you for your approving comment.
P. S. I was 17 years old.

Filipp Romanov

That's a brilliant report with lots of great pics! You got yourself a good rooftop to observe from there. The temperature drop is quite remarkable. Thank you! I was there only once, because the TV crew suggested, and I did not refuse (so I was able to take landscape photographs of the eclipse). Wha...

Hello Terry! Here are my photos of the comet for the date of July 9, 2020. For almost 11 years of my astronomical observations, I have never seen such an impressive comet. This was visible with the naked eye. I estimated the brightness of the comet's head at +2m, estimated the tail length at 35 arcm...

Hello all! In the morning of July 3, 2020, I managed to photograph comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) from my small homeland (in Yuzhno-Morskoy, near Nakhodka, Russia), over the Sea of Japan. From 04:41 to 04:42 local time (UTC+10), I took 4 photos (with my camera Canon EOS 60D, 100mm lens, on the tripod) of...

The latest photographs show the final phases of the eclipse after the occultation of sunspot AR2303 by the Moon.

With best regards,

Filipp.

The maximum eclipse phase through the telescope is visible in these two photos.

The following photos taken show: - thermometer (shows a decrease in temperature by several degrees, the Celsius scale) before the eclipse and during the maximum; - light change (ISO-100, 1/1000 sec., f/3.5) before the eclipse and during the maximum; - crescent shadows from holes in a colander during...

Filipp Romanov

I observed on the roof of a high-rise building because the crew of a local TV channel filmed a story about me and the eclipse (they brought my astronomical equipment there), because I popularize astronomy in society for free.

Filipp Romanov

The sky cleared before the very beginning of the eclipse; the relief was very clearly visible at the limb of the Moon.

I did not notice a loss of resolution when using this mode. In my comparison, the resolution is even better than with the 1920x1080 mode.

Filipp Romanov

Christian, thanks for sharing! I think if I were shooting not through visual solar film, but through photographic film, then detailing would be better.

Filipp Romanov

I hope in a few years such a high solar activity will recur.

Filipp Romanov

Thank you and you have a great image!

Filipp Romanov

Thank you Rainer, for your opinion about my photos.

Thank you, Alexandra and Pedro! The weather was very clear and not very frosty, so I managed to observe this eclipse from beginning to end.

Hello Alfred,

These photos have now become especially interesting because during the next solar eclipse (on June 21, 2020) it was cloudy, but during this eclipse there were gaps in the clouds.
