Solar Photography

Mixed 'white light' & H alpha solar images arranged chronologically. This isn't a 'best of' gallery. It's a record of all my solar photography whether it's taken on cloudless days of perfect seeing, or shot through cloud with gale force winds to capture a flare or some other feature I didn't want to miss.

Over the years the equipment used to record these photos has changed. I no longer have the photos I took prior to 2005.

Fascinating gallery. Have you ever taken pictures of any objects moving across the sun (some astronomers were so lucky)?
