As a solar observer it is good to see activity increasing as “solar cycle 25” moves forward into its approximate 11-year term. You are looking at a close-up image taken with a Hydrogen-alpha (Hα) telescope.
A solar prominence (also known as a filament when viewed against the solar disk) is a large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun's surface. Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the Sun's hot outer atmosphere, called the corona. A prominence forms over timescales of about a day, and stable prominences may persist in the corona for several months, looping hundreds of thousands of miles into space. Scientists are still researching how and why prominences are formed. Source: NASA
We saw some of the best displays of the aurora borealis that I've ever seen on this year's Alaska Workshop! We just released dates for 2022 and are down to our last 2 spots. We teach our students that there are many different variables that can affect the strength of an auroral display. Many people concentrate on the Kp number, which ranges from 0 to 9 depending on the strength of the solar wind. But there are so many other variables that are equally if not more important. I took this shot on a night when the Kp registered at a lowly 1. But despite that, the aurora was so active and dancing all across the sky with different colors visible even to the naked eye! It was so active that I took this shot with a 12mm lens pointing straight up into the sky with a shutter speed of less than 1 sec! And yes, the white color is also real - it's not from overexposing. If you are interested in joining us next year for an adventure into the Arctic, make sure you book soon:
Accidental solarization from circa 1972. Rolleiflex TLR. Taken in Pound Ridge Reservation, New York. Scan of a print.
A seies of images taking during the "Great American Eclipse" of August 21st 2017. Our location was Greenville, South Carolina. Equipment used: Canon 7D with Tamron 150-600mm lens and solar filter sheet.
Since I haven't been able to go take photos , I was checking some of my old photos and I decided to upload this one, enjoy !!
Installed her solar panels on the roof of the workshop. Notice the really dirty solar panel. The charge controller it was attached to, showed a lower voltage output, wonder why?. This proved to me that keeping them clean as possible will be a worthy investment in time spent cleaning.
Sundogs highlight the circumference of a solar disk in the evening sky above the coastline at Clam Harbour Beach. The atmospheric phenomena of the disk and dogs is created by sunlight refracting through the droplets of water in the clouds. It's one of the more sublime occurrences in nature.
I have been slacking on flickr because I am working on www.scallopholden.com I am not good at web design yet so it sucks. I will continue to work on it so keep going back.

SOLAR ECLIPSE IN MAZARA DEL VALLO (SOUTHERN SICILY) AT ABOUT 9:00 AM
Shutter speed: 1/2500 sec
F: 25.0
ISO: 100
Filters used: Polarizer and ND
Focal length: 300 mm
Sunrise over a small solar farm in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, UK. Covered in snow and probably about to have a low productivity day.
For 121 Pictures in 2021 #90 "Solar powered", this is a garden tiki that has nice glowing eyes after dark. It uses a solar powered recharger for the battery. Unfortunately he sits in a rather bare area right now thanks to losing almost all of our plants in the Big Freeze. This is the last section to be refilled, and we're waiting until Fall to get rid of the gravel and lay down decent soil and mulch for a nicer garden.
I was bird watching today and this eclipse totally photobombed my shot. - bah to celestial events,,,
Actually this silhouetted bird was a total accident that i only discovered when i was looking at the shots on the computer..
This is the first upload of a shot taken by my olympus EM10, i've been carrying it every day since it arrived, but it took an eclipse to remind me to use it - next time i'll pack a zoom lens instead of just 45mm!
CC always welcome...
On Friday 20th March 2015, a total solar eclipse occured across the far Northern regions of Europe and the Artic. The longest duration of totality for this eclipse was 2 minutes and 46 seconds as viewed off the coast of the Faroe Islands. This will mark the last total solar eclipse in Europe for over a decade. The next not being until August 12, 2026.
This photograph, taken at 09.29 in Redditch UK shows the maximum partial eclipse. The partial cloud cover gave rise to the spectacular colouring of the atmosphere surrounding the eclipse.

Homeward bound!
This is the Flight Report for : Toulouse-Payerne
PILOT: BERTRAND PICCARD
DATE: 24.07.2012
TAKE-OFF TIME: 05:01 AM UTC / 7:00 AM Toulouse Time
TIME OF LANDING: 06:30 PM UTC
FLIGHT DURATION: 13H 29MIN
AVERAGE SPEED: 34 KTS
AVERAGE ALTITUDE: 3596 METRES
On its final leg from Toulouse to Payerne, Solar Impulse traveled 615 km (382 miles) in 13 hours 29 minutes at an average speed of 63 km/h (39 mph) and at an average altitude of 3,596 meters (11,800 ft)
From today's sky festivities as our moon drifted between Earth and the Sun. This is the 75% solar eclipse, as seen from Brentwood, CA. As I was studying the full rez image, I notice the right side (outer edge) of the crescent is not as sharp as the left edge. Which figures since that side is some 92.5 million miles further than the left edge. Think about it. Talk about depth of field!
I used the DFA 150-450/4.5 lens at 450mm plus a 1.4x teleconvertor, on the K3II crop sensor camera. For filtering, I combined a Hoya 9-stop ND with a Marumi circular polarizer which got me to a 1/8000th shutter speed at ISO 100.
No DSLR sensors nor retinae were damaged in the making...at least I hope.
Thanks for looking!
