Our sun!

Our sun!

As part of a work experience week at a local university we went to their observatory where they have a decently large solar telescope on a sturdy tracker mount (I am unsure of the specifics so I cannot really answer any questions lol)

One of the professors (not sure, but person of expertise) set up the telescope for solar imagery and took a few still frames while our student group helped to set a few things up.

These were the results of the photos from last Thursday!
(First photo overexposed to show solar prominences (1/100s)
Second and third photo with lower exposure to show filaments, sunspots and other solar detail (1/1000s))
