Having a little bit of fun with solar activity

I was concentrating on capturing solar prominences with my Lunt solar scope when I was photo bombed.
Stay safe....

I thought you live in Albaturkey, but that looks like Phoenix....
Great catch!
Great catch!

Sweet. I keep hoping to catch a shot like this, but by the time I find my camera, attach it to the scope, make a few test shots to get the settings just right, the tail of the plane is just almost out of the frame.

Nice shot. Was this with an H alpha filter?
Thank you.
Yes this is hydrogen alpha with a monochrome CMOS.

Lol 😆 the sun looks the same here but the heat level is a little bit lower.
Thanks Sonny.

Thank you.
Next time try video, not like you can plan these or anything.
Stay warm! I don’t know if the Arctic snowplow has hit you yet but the cold air is on the way.

Sorry for the delay, I haven't been on site in awhile.
This was shot with a Lunt 60mm Hydrogen Alpha telescope.
Over exposed to pull the prominences and sacrifice chromosphere details.
Thank you for the compliment and again, sorry for the delay.
