Hydrogen Alpha Image of the
Sun from Mid-Atlantic Star party

Star parties provide extended opportunities
for me to leave my equipment setup and allow me to attempt to image the sun.
I experimented with many filters and barlow combinations on this day. I
imaged most of the day. Special thanks to Peter Ward for his guidance in
digitally processing this image. You can see Peter's outstanding
Halpha
work here.
