Embedded Files
Here you can access my solar images by the month (Check back often!).
I hope you enjoy.
NOTE: It's been a busy time at the DDO and I didn't have much time for imaging last year. I'm starting to catch up and there are some recent images.
The filled buttons have images.
Thanks for stopping by.
Here is a link for ALL MY IMAGES over the past years.
Here is a brief description of what you are looking at.
White Light or Photosphere Images
are the most popular way to observe, and image the Sun.
By reducing the overall intensity of the disc using special filters and prisms we are able to see the layer at which all the visible energy of the Sun is emitted.
This layer is called the Photosphere.
Chromosphere Images
Sitting about 400 km above the Photosphere is the Chromosphere.
When this layer of Hydrogen gas is excited by the radiation from the Photosphere below, the Hydrogen atoms react and they emit their own form of energy visible to us as red light.
This red energy, known as Hydrogen Alpha (Hα), is visible at a frequency of 656.28 nm which is the band-pass that these images are captured at.
