A few days ago we revieved this awesome little video! This set of images was captured by solar imager Michael Buxton with his Takahashi 102 refractor and LS75F-Ha Double Stacked filters.

Solar telescopes models start at $499 for an LS35T (telescope) or the only slightly more expensive LS50F (filter), all the way thru the 152T and the 160F. Solar observing is both fun and educational. Don’t miss out on Solar Maximum.
Last month imager Brain Johnson tested out his brand new B3400 blocking filter on his LS100THa and boy did he use that blocker to its full potential! The B3400 is currently the largest blocking filter in the Lunt family, this massive blocker is designed inside a 2″ straight through barrel allowing the largest of CCD cameras to be used! For the shot below Brian used the famous SBIG STL-11000 CCD camera that sports an awesome full frame CCD sensor. The field of view (FOV) is huge, its large chip allows Brian to image the entire solar disk in one shot!
Brian’s image shows an extremely detailed solar disk with two large active regions, a sun spot, and countless filaments!
Thanks for sending in your image Brian!

Sunspot 1092 has been the main target for most solar observers over the last several days. While this large sunspot hasn’t produced much activity is has still been quite a view!
July 31, 2010 Eduard Garcia-Ribera of Spain captured some incredible images of 1092.
To capture these images Eduard used his LS100T for H-Alpha, B600 Ca-K Module, and Lunt Solar Wedge on his ED100 refractor.
Keep an eye on the sun, some more active regions as well as sunspot 1093 are slowly coming into view!
We enjoy seeing the images you are taking, please send them in and they could end up on a blog post!
