The Sun today (2025-04-27)
Less than 1 minute
After many months of hibernation, today I finally imaged the Sun in H-alpha again, and I was rewarded with a fantastic view
Date: 2025-04-27 18:47 UT
Location: My backyard in Richmond Hill (ON)
**Gain:**0
Exposure: 1.591ms
Scope: Lunt 40mm B600
Mount: SkyWatcher AZ-GTi
Camera: Player-One Mars-M II
Software: FireCapture (best 30% from 1000 frames), AS!4, Autostitch, ImPPG, GIMP
Notes: There are a couple of massive solar prominences-one significantly larger than our planet, as well as many filaments and intricate details across the Sun’s surface.
As always, I have included a labeled image to provide a scale reference.
