My name is Peter Desypris and I live in Athens, Greece.  I spent the summertime on the island of Syros, where my observatory is located.  In 2005 I saw the sun through a telescope for my very first time…and since then, it has become my daily habit whenever the weather allows it.  You all know how magical observing and photographing the sun is, through an H-alpha solar telescope.

My telescope is probably one of the first LUNT that arrived in Europe, but for sure the first one in Greece…

I hope you like my photos…

Here are my pictures of January 2012

All images taken with my LS60THa/B1200 (single stack) and the DMK31AU03.AS  ccd camera seeing= 1/5…

My equipment: LUNT LS60THa/B1200&600/LS50FHa DS, Barlow CEMAX 2X DMK31AU03.AS

The LS60Tha was mounted on a AP Mach 1 mount.  The camera was a Lumenera SKYnyx 2-0.  The 4  videos in SER format (approximately 6000 frames each) were acquired with LucamRecorder and processed with Registax and Photoshop CS5.  It is a mozaiek of 4 images.  500 best frames of each 2m recording were used, then the stacked images were stitched with Photomerge in Photoshop.  The mozaiek was sharpened with wavelets in Registax, final processing and adding color was done in Photoshop. Enjoy!!

Image was taken in Belgium

Here’s my “first light” with the LS80THa that I received today :-).  The Sun was already low above the horizon and in a bank of Cirrus clouds.  Cool scope indeed!

Below are five images I took in December that I am submitting for the imaging contest.

All of these images were taken with a Lunt LS100T/Ha and an Imaging Source DMK51.
