Solar Imaging

Explore Scientific ES 127ED wiith Lunt Solar Wedge

and

The "Luntanado" hybrid solarscope

This site has been created to allow me to share my CCD images with those who may be interested. I was an active visual astronomer for 20+ years before I got into deepsky imaging in 2001. In 2010 I converted over to mostly solar imaging in Hydrogen Alpha and in "white light". Every day the sun looks very different--truly an adventure!
Enjoy the site!
