Partial eclipse from Germany.

@sn0opy That is a lovely capture, the prominence detail along the limb is doing a lot of work here.

The mono sensor is the unsung part of it. One channel, no Bayer interpolation, so every pixel is a real measurement rather than a reconstruction. That is close to the opposite of where most image processing has gone, where the software confidently fills in detail it never actually saw.

Good to see a picture that is entirely evidence.

@sn0opy There were some nice filaments and prominences today!

@sn0opy how come you got different sunspots than everyone else?

[finn@sfba.social]

@Dragonhead to a human I'd say "no, stop!" but you're probably fine I suppose

[petesmom@kolektiva.social]

@sn0opy
Love the flares you captured!

[airshipper@cloudisland.nz]

@tyzbit @sn0opy looks like a scanning electron microscope image, great stuff!

[stonebear2@hachyderm.io]

@sn0opy wow, that's the best shot I've seen so far.

[sn0opy@mastodon.social]

@tyzbit This was shot on a special solar telescope. It uses filters to make a different layer (chromosphere) visible. So instead of sun spots, you can see actual flares shot into space by the sun.

@sn0opy stunning!

@sn0opy [Ga] holy fuck that looks cool

[jillybee@mastodon.social]

@sn0opy That's really brilliant, a wonderful shot of the sun with it's flares. Thank you!

@sn0opy Krasses Bild.

@sn0opy I actually swore when I saw this. Fantastic. Probably going to be my phone wallpaper for a while (replacing dragon docked at iss with world visible)

[kbm0@mastodon.social]

@sn0opy Ooh H-α

[nfoonf@chaos.social]

@sn0opy i looked at it and thought, funny, the protuberances don‘t have any shadows. Yeah, well….

[inpc@go.mxtthxw.art]

@sn0opy that's very cool.

[gabriel_berardi@mastodon.social]

@sn0opy Wow, stunning!

[benhm3@mastodon.social]

@sn0opy

Thank you for sharing.

What causes the moon's edge to be brighter?

[corpsmoderne@mamot.fr]

@sn0opy I've resisted the urge to buy an Acuter 40 and now I know I shouldn't
congrats, incredible shot!

[zuthal@floofy.tech]

@sn0opy Huh, why are the edges brighter? Normally you'd expect the limb of the sun to be darker than the middle, and no edge brightening or darkening at the edge of the part obscured by the moon.
