The sun from a few hours ago. I'm really enjoying this weird semi-inverted technique I've discovered. Really makes the details pop

Get a #solar H-alpha scope of you're really into #astrophotography. It's an investment, but it gives you something to do when the weather isn't favorable for dark sky stuff. It's a slightly different skillset to learn and will keep things varied.
Plus, the sun is really fucking awesome. Especially for the next few years as we hit the solar maximum. The sun is different every day you look at it. If you're lucky you might catch a flare or some other transient event.

@hendric @malcircuit I’m on a 2” frac rn (RedCat 51) and its amazing, but I want to grab some close-ups of a few things.
Here’s what the RedCat can do already (w/ ASI294MM):

@thomasfuchs @malcircuit I just got an Astro-Tech 90 CFT and been having a blast with it. So much nicer than my ancient LX200. Hoping to upgrade from a Canon SL1 to an asi2600mc duo soon.

@thomasfuchs @malcircuit Wow, nice work! The latest scopes from Lunt Solar Systems are actually dual-use as night-time apos and daytime h-alphas. :D
