Description
Behold the incredible size of our Sun! We begin with a close-up view of the Sun’s surface, captured through my main solar telescope, then zoom out to a full-disk view using my new setup. Both telescopes were filming the same active region, giving you a true sense of just how massive and dynamic the Sun really is.
This time-lapse showcases real solar activity in stunning detail, revealing solar flares, plasma filaments, and chromospheric structures through the Daystar Quark Chromosphere filter.
Curious about how I capture these shots of The Sun? Check out this video where I show my setup and process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVXYaBNYRNA
