Re: October Solar Challenge
The second "173809" image is actually quite a cracking image Ivan - showing the differing colours of the Sun-set and the Volga reflecting such...
Thanks for sharing.
Rainer's capture is quite interesting and Chris has certainly proven how the filtering-effects of a little haze/cloud can save a few bucks..

I see you are still using that old tobacco filter, eh?
I was about to tell you off for having dust bunnies on your image.
But it was a combination of AR2882 and a desperate need to clean my imaging monitor.

Hi,
Last time lapse of the Sun Set over the Pacific Ocean.
Until today I was able to process this images correctly.
Taken with a 500 mm f/4.0 lens with an image very two seconds and shrank it to about 60 frames per second.

Wow! it drops like a stone, no angle at all. That is absolutely amazing Rainer and no clouds either! Have you checked for any green flash? you may have been slightly over exposed to get it though

Hi,
Thanks everybody and to make it clear, Colours were not touched by me in any way. I am a purist. Just a bit of Histogram adjustment and a bit of sharpening. That is it.
Again thanks ...

On another note, I noticed that the Sun rose in a very different place to 9 days ago. It has moved significantly further south before rising as noted by the position of the pine tree.

Re: October Solar Challenge
It's not all miserable Alexandra, as of course night-sky observations/imaging is now blossoming.
I guess the only to gain the best of both worlds (or should I say skies) is to move every six-months or so to the other-side of the equator/-52-degs S..
Excellent comparisons of your images.

Re: October Solar Challenge
Hi everyone...
I have not had many clear sunrise/sunset opportunities this month, but after downloading some pictures from my DSLR tonight I found a few that I shot back on Oct 2nd. If I remember the conditions there was a partially clear band near the horizon that the sun appeared through as it set. I'm hoping for more sun this week based on the current weather forecast, but I'll see if it materializes

Hello all.
Not a technical gem (iPhone) but my first fishing adventure with my son. We caught nothing, a few bites, but lots of early morning fun!

Fantastic images everyone, so beautiful! I feel inspired to catch sunsets now to see what I can get. I don't get a good view of sunrise since it happens behind a mountain, so sunset it is, lol.

Well, clouds have not been cooperating, but was able to see a bit of the sun as it neared the horizon, before disappearing completely behind the clouds.

Re: October Solar Challenge
Finally got a cloudless sunset, lol. The third image where I underexposed as much as I could has some slight sunspot detail visible from the 2 main sunspot groups (or I need to clean my lense, one of the two:), and a touch of green on top, though I don't know if that is green flash or just funky dispersion due to being so low on the horizon.

Re: October Solar Challenge
I think sketching is a legit entry. We can do sketches of what we see in the eyepiece, why not a sketch of what one feels in the soul on a rainy, sunless day. Be it the sun, or the spark of creativity within, both bring a shining light into our lives:) Or something like that, lol.

Re: October Solar Challenge
Hi all...
The weekend forecast is for cloud and rain here, and with a clear sunrise on Thursday (28th), I figured it would be my last opportunity to get a sunrise shot for the Solar Challenge. Much of my eastern horizon has trees in the distance, so a clear sunrise over the horizon doesn't work well without traveling to a better view point.
So, that said, here is my sunrise through the trees, with a little fall colour showing too.

Re: October Solar Challenge
Here's my take, sunrise, just after 9am this morning from Reykholt where we are staying in Iceland, it's a zoomed in mobile phone pic so excuse quality. The volcano to the left of the sun is Hekla, one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland, fortunately it didn't erupt (so far!) while we are there. Hoping skies remain clear as this evening there is G3 (KP7) solar storm forecast to hit from the X flare earlier in the week.

Re: October Solar Challenge
Great to see the your Iceland sunrise Mark!
I hope that you have clear skies and aurora to photograph too.
