GUEST SOLAR ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY Last updated: 30 April 2007

Some ETX users have sent me examples of their astrophotography. If you have some examples you would like included here please send me a description of how you made the astrophotos and a copy of the images as GIF or JPEG files (due to internet email gateway issues, please send only one image file per message). Send to etx@me.com. Alternatively, if you have created your own web page with your examples please let me know and I'll include a link to your site.

I send you 2 shots of the sun through my ETX-105 at prime focus from Stockholm - Sweden. The second one was taken this morning. They are stitched together in Photoshop from 3 exposures each.

Just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful website! It has been a pool of information answering some difficult questions/problems relating to my ETX-125. I created a homemade Baader solar filter using the Baader solar film around the first of this year. Attached is a photo from 01/31/07. Feel free to post it in your Guest Astrophotography location. Since 01/31/07, there has been little to no sun spots! Itching to use the solar filter again! This solar minimum is a MINIMUM! LOL! Thanks again! Mike here: I adjusted the "levels" slightly to lighten the image.

Greetings from Mexico City. I want to share with you this image where the sunspot 930 is almost hidden due to sun's rotation. At the beginning of 2007 near the minimum of the 23rd solar cycle.
