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.
A sizeable Solar prominence shot in Hydrogen Alpha. This partial capture of the Solar disc shows the active prominence on the limb.
This was captured on 15th June 2021 from my backyard in the UK.
Equipment used :
Sky-watcher 120mm Evostar Achro
CEM70 mount
Daystar Quark Chromosphere Ha Eyepiece
Point Grey Blackfly mono CMOS
Hybrid catamaran with sun-tracking photo-voltaic sails. In high winds the sails are programmed to lie horizontal.
This hurt my eye taking this shot...LOL
Loved the way the sun looked as it revealed itself from behind the curtain of stormy clouds!
No color adjustments made!

Joyce laughed about as loud as I’d ever seen her last night. We were watching a favorite program, Resident Alien, about a space alien, assigned to annihilate mankind, crash-lands on a glacier near an idyllic town, and assumes the identity of a medical doctor named Harry Vanderspeigle. Sounds hilarious, right? Well, trust me, it is. It reminds of ‘Northern Exposure’, though with a science fiction twist. With great acting and cinematography, it’s a comedy of moral dilemma that is funny, sweet, dramatic, and just a bit horrifying, all in one episode. In last night’s episode, Harry runs a scenario through his mind considering the plus or minus effects of physically fighting an adversary. The consequence is that during the fight he slams his opponent against his refrigerator. The next scene is with a refrigerator repairman who yaks on and on about his passion as a landscape photographer… and he lives with his momma. Harry decides the fight isn’t worth the outcome. I reckon you had to be there. Joyce, however, found that quite amusing and roared laughing. Just to let you know, I don’t resemble that character in any way whatsoever.
One of the scenes of that episode was shot against the sun, with a beautiful lens flare. That happens when bright subjects bounce off all the elements of a lens. It just so happens that I was working on this image, and it struck me just how beautiful it is. The East Fork Overlook at Milepost 418.3 on the Blue Ridge Parkway gave a nice view with the long lens as the sun rose through a cloud layer over the mountains.
Yesterday, cellphone carriers throughout the United States inexplicably shut down. Reasons of various sorts were tossed around, most likely of which was a solar flare. Per typical, major media couldn’t get their story straight. Today, it was explained as programming errors… but for most every major carrier? Not very likely. It was probably more nefarious than that. I think I’ll take Harry Vanderspeigle’s approach, and just stick with the solar flare.
If you’re perhaps curious, Resident Alien is now on Netflix.

On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America was treated to an eclipse of the sun.

Night vs Day. The Eternal Battle.
Partial Solar Eclipse, juxtaposed with an aerial slack line demonstration between buildings as part of the Roanoke "go fest". Cloudy enough that a B&W conversation made it more dramatic
In Hamilton Canada, the solar eclipse on June 10, 2021 was only a partial eclipse and this was the maximum of the partial eclipse, however it happened almost exactly at sunrise as seen here.
...best viewed in the large size.
Good morning. Just a single posting today of an orange Gerbera daisy, which when processing reminded me of solar flares. And in advance I need to apologize for not being able to respond to comments as I usually do as a result of an appointment this morning. Please bear with me on that as everyone's comments and remarks are truly appreciated and I hate not being able to thank you personally until later in the day.
Take care...and I hope you have a great Tuesday.

A flock of birds cross the eclipsed Sun during the maximum phase along the shore of Cape Cod National Seashore. Low clouds briefly obscured the views at time but it made for some very interesting pictures. It was a great way to end my 6 day night sky and eclipse workshop and I am looking forward to my next eclipse adventure.

Picture of today's Solar Eclipse.
Image was taken around noon (12:20h) with a Canon EOS 200D, Sky-watcher Skymax 102, Astrozap Baader Solar Filter, and this on a Star Adventurer Pro.
It's a single exposure (1/160s; f/12.74; 1300mm; ISO-100) that I have sharpened in Registax 6 (Wavelets) and then edited in Photoshop 2021 (orange hue)
Besides the obvious moon, there was also some activity visible on the surface of the sun. :)
The solar eclipse occurred today with a heavy cloud cover obscuring the pivotal moment of total darkness of the sun. The northern edge of the path of totality was located about 30 km to the south of our neighbourhood over Lake Ontario. As a result we only got glimpses of the moon covering up the sun through he clouds. In a way it was OK as I hadn't prepared my cameras to take pictures of the solar eclipse with a clear sky. So I got shots with the brightness of the sun lessened by the cloud cover.
