I pointed my telescope at the sun (don't try at home)

- Hello everyone! In this video I do a quick walkthrough of how I capture my solar images! It goes over setup, why filters are important, how to look at the sun, how lucky imaging works, and how images of the sun usually have false color. If you want to know what equipment I used to capture these images, here you go:
telescope: the original was out of stock, this one is similar: bit.ly/3XvDikv
Solar Filter: bit.ly/3EwwavE
Camera: bit.ly/38UkRT0
Mount: bit.ly/3w8R9BM
For more info, check out my website: astrofalls.com/
Thanks for watching!

I pointed my 127 EQ at the sun when I was 12. I still have the picture of me outside with my telescope pointing my telescope at the sun, the fact that I still have a right eye is a miracle.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
For just imagining it 😱
Turned that 127 EQ into a 79 IQ
I guess you developed some illness in your eye if not that would be a miracle
And then a DQ cashiers IQ@@TimberWulfIsHere

“don’t try at home” continues to show step by step how to do this at home
This is how much I know about the sun. I went outside on my driveway at about 10:00 am and felt the warmth of the sun and knew I could wear shorts today. Thank You and all others that watch and study that little light in the sky.
Little light
Sweet setup. Definitely helps me appreciate astrophotography as a whole.
I look at the sun using welding glass, it’s startling just how small the sun actually is and still, it’s casts all that energy on us, wow.
I dont know what you mean but 21 million sized Mercurys can fit inot the sun..the sum is very hugeeeee
He means in relation to how little space it takes up in the sky from Earth. Sure it's massive but it's so far from us.
The sun is my friend. The sun is hot. I like the sun. The sun is fun.
I've got the Bresser 127L which I use with a Herchel wedge & that works well for white light & I've got a couple of Coronado PST's one for Ha the other for Cak although getting a camera to work well on those is tricky but not impossible
Try that 127 on some nebula using SHO! :-) The Field Curvature shouldn't be too terrible on a micro 4/3rd's. A focal proper reducer could be fitted but probably need to switch out the focuser..
VERY good info. Thank you. I've been meaning to try this. And great trick of looking for the circle shadow to point the scope. I was wondering how I'd point it safely.
I have some Badder solar film and a Optolong L-Ultimate Dual Bandpass. I know the Badder film will work, but will the Optolong work? Does it have to heat up, or did you use a special solar Ha filter that has to heat up? Thanks!
Are you selecting / stacking video frames in Autostakkert RegiStax, or something else?
And congrats on your helping with the M31 [OIII] emission arc. That's very cool.
all you should need for observing is the solar film, I wouldnt stack it with a narrowband filter. and stacking is all autostakkert for me!
Beautiful! 7:43 Will you make that last portion a short?
I have a question, as you know, the sun tilts 7.25 degrees, and the earth revolves around the sun after six months. Does the sun’s tilt change direction, or is it the same position? for all the year
You must have the Barlow adapter to get the f# slow enough for the etalon? I see that quark filter has a 4.2X Barlow already!
Awesome really nice job 👏
Note: Per Daystar any scope larger than 102mm or 4"/5" should have a ERF filter on the front. I was told on the Solar CloudyNights forum that you can use a 99% Dielectric diagonal with a Ha filter threaded in front to reduce/block of the solar heat. I reached out to Daystar and they said that a 80mm to 102mm scope and smaller no need for a ERF filter, but when a 120mm/130mm and larger then the amount of heat from the Sun needs a ERF filter in front, I wished they were not so costly! Looking forward using my Daystar and my 102mm scope and the ZWO 533 camera. Thanks
Good to know, ive been using a uv/ir cut filter at the back as an ERF
@@astrofalls I have an UV/IR but a member on CL said that an Ha filter would be better at reducing the heat? Maybe both could be used together... Please test and make a video.
Awesome video. Could you show your editing process in a bit slower? It's always nice to get some more inspiration for my own work flow. Your images look distinctly different from what I usually achieve
Good work
Can you please do this video again with the new speculations of a sun simulator?
Amazing! I have similar setup, but a I don't know process a timelapse. Which program do you use?
A mish mash of a bunch! Autostakkert to stack, IMPPG to preprocess, Photoshop to align frames, davinci to render the timelapse
@@astrofalls Thanks for your answer! And to make the timelapse, do you make several short videos in the capture, or do you take photos from time to time? Then I suppose that when processing it would be necessary to do it photo by photo and then stack them all already processed and with the false color on?
Stacking the images like high dynamic range, you think there would be a maximum amount before it got all noisy
Discord light mode 💀
Pls do this again!!!
Very interesting I once look in a sun telescope saw the sun yup
Love you bro from india❤❤❤
Why do we make the sun yellow or orange? Isn't its real color white?
How much time did the storms actually took to reach from 1 place to another in the end of the video? In how much time do we actually see it?
Your RUclips name is much more tame than your Reddit name lol
What is it
@@solsolsolomon SPACESHUTTLEINMYANUS lol
wow! your video proves the sun is flat! Incredible find!!!
How does it not destroy your lense and mirrors inside?
AR 127?? What caliber is that?
nice views
I'm using sun filter but still i can't see the sun with my telescope. Why ?
Ray Charles would look at the sun no problem
No amount of filter could convice me to put my eye to the eyepiece.
You don't lol use a screen bubba
it’s all filter including the shape
What's crazy is considering the sun is so far away, you can actually get clear, detailed pictures of it lol. How powerful are those lenses?😂😂
How do you think optic works?
So all the orange images of the sun we've been showed is a lie? I feel betrayed. Are the colourful stars they show also artificially coloured?
no. Stars emitt a lot of light frequencies. It depends on what filter you use if you take footage.
unless you know what youre doing and have a PROPER filter.... never point to the sun.... its ludicrous.
All the Walfare embracers taking note what to do to actually become handicap
Qoyil
😂
Allah is the greatest.
Deceiver.
Where is he smoking on th Sun😂😂😂😂
At killing innocent children?
Your video is not that one which I wanted to see and expected
Follow Jesus Christ
Done ✅
Come on bro! You talk too much damn!! 5 minutes talking omg, show what you have to show bro. This is ridiculous
ALLAHUAKBAR ☝️❤️
This guy is faking...
You can get sun ☀️ in a mirror and point your scope at it and observe the Sun by using HA filter.
Well, I never intend to point my telescope at the sun. Thanks for the advice, though!
The sun and stars are angles with eyes they are not what you think they are and we’re not able to view them in their true form god created the sun moon and stars all of the planets are fallen stars
What?
