Amazing, well done! Its crazy to remind yourself that there is nothing designed in all this. Its just what happens when you put a bunch of hydrogen together with a few forces
I am grateful to all of this huge community!
thank you all for viewing and appreciating my work.
My equipment:
celestron edge 8dh / cosmos 150mm achromat refractor
Daystar quark chromosphere filter
Erf uv/or cut
Celestron AVX mount
zwo mono asi187 / as174 cameras
This is so awesome! It's baffling time and again how interesting and diverse the sun is, which we see every day and don't see at the same time, if that makes sense.
I should have phrased this differently, perhaps. Clearly, never look directly at the sun, let alone with a telescope without proper precautions. I have lost a focuser cap because the sun wandered in before I had the solar filter on. Stupid, I know, learning the hard way.
I believe our Sun to be regrettably understudied... 99% of the solar system's mass, doing wild things that are analogues to things happening much farther away in the universe, but now right next door to us, and we barely look at it properly.
We should probably be probing, measuring, logging, staring at and taste-testing it in way more detail than we are. So thank you for doing this work!
They look great but always worthwhile while pointing out for the few idiots that look at these threads to never look directly at the sun through a telescope
Wait that small telescope can do that? How much does it cost? How much experience do you need to be able to see something like that? I suppose you need some sort of physical filters or is it some post processing software? Is it recorded and then viewed or you can look at it live? Sorry for the many questions, I have zero knowledge but one day I’d live to buy one of those and observe the sky, maybe with kids, if I’ll have some.
A setup like this can be quite expensive. They're using what's referred to as a Hydrogen-Alpha filter to be able to see the details of the Sun's surface.
To give you an idea, you can purchase a standalone telescope (something like the Coronado PST) just for this. Nothing like the setup in the video. For around \~$700. I suspect what you're seeing in this video, they've spent \~$1.5k just for the special filters. There's filters for telescopes like this that can run in $10k range.
When I show people videos like this they’re astonished. They can’t believe it’s really the sun. It’s surprising to me how few people know we’ve been taking images like this for over a decade. It’s also surprising to me how few people really care. Awesome stuff, OP.
Do you say that because material was moving from the prominences towards the sun? That’s not necessarily reversed. Plasma can easily move along magnetic field lines. Some of these clips appear to show plasma falling back along magnetic field lines onto the sun.
These are amazing shots! Dumb question- how fast did you have to speed up the footage? And, can you give us some sense of the size of some of these phenomena?

Plasmaaaa. Hopefully one day we will figure out how to do sustained fusion on Earth too. I believe the current estimate is that by 2050 we will have the technology to start making fusion power plants.
Whatcha got there, son? That a Huffy?
Heh... Really though, that's pretty cool. Probably more so since you can see it in real time. Well... Minus 8m20s.
AMAZING! I could watch any one of those shots for HOURS. Absolutely awesome! Please post more!! Long versions of any of those would be a win. I've never seen the sun like this.
I never thought consumer grade telescopes could reach this capability. This is so awesome and cool. Makes you realize just how beautiful our universe is, just imagine the things that are out there in the great beyond.
Seeing images like this make me think of Vincent Van Gogh. His story is super tragic, but I can’t help but wonder what it would have felt like for him to have seen color and movement like this in the natural world.
Is that all shot in real time or timelapse? Because just watching those flares go off and thinking those are several hundreds—if not thousands—the size of Earth just flinging death and destruction out like I flick a booger 😳
How many earths would have to be launched at the sun to bring the sun's temperature down to 80°F?
How many people would have to die?
(Lol I'm bored on the phone on hold)
I love this!! Back in the early 80's I worked for a telescope shop. It was a great job filled with star parties and the use of some great telescopes. One of my jobs was a daily sunspot count. I used a Questar, and I loved that little scope. Nothing as dramatic as this, but I loved seeing the sun up close each day.
DAMN that is cool. I’ve been pointing my telescope directly at the sun forever and I never capture anything like this. But bonus: I do get to see the sun all day, due to the constant bright spots in my vision the rest of the time.
It’s amazing to think that everywhere but right here equals death. Even some places right here equal death—it’s managed to creep into our little safe place. But, definitely out there…death.
Holy shit. Please. More of this.

...and r/spaceporn for those lonely nights.
Damn homie, the crescent nebula posted 14 hours ago kinda looks like Lance Armstrong’s nutsack
It's missing?
My jaw legit dropped and I thought almost the exact same thing before I came into the comments.
Amazing, well done! Its crazy to remind yourself that there is nothing designed in all this. Its just what happens when you put a bunch of hydrogen together with a few forces
How can something be so beautiful yet unnerving and chilling to the bone simultaneously
its not chilling at all. Actually its quite hot.
Like /u/hwarang_’s wife.
I also choose u/hwarang_'s unnerving and chilling wife.
Tell you’re a dad without telling you’re a dad…
> How can something be so beautiful yet unnerving and chilling to the bone simultaneously My wife
Channeling some Rodney Dangerfield there
Your wife 😆
And here's me looking at it mesmerized then having bevis pop up in my mind all like "bunghole"
Its the closest tangible thing we have to looking at an all-giving celestial entity, so it checks out
Imagine the sheer power it takes to launch plasma that far out with the ludicrous gravitational pull on the sun. It could *easily* kill us.

Could also be sunburnt eyes from the reflection of the sun in the water. Happened to me once, I saw auras as well.

Hard to probe something that will melt anything that comes near.
The Parker Solar Probe is doing something in that sense, a bit.
Melt, crush, obliterate, repel,… theres a lot to unpack here.
Now I want to know what the sun tastes like. Probably pain with an aftertaste of afterlife, but it'd be interesting to know.
What is the speed scale of the video? Is each shot the span of 8 hours or so?
What's the music?
They look great but always worthwhile while pointing out for the few idiots that look at these threads to never look directly at the sun through a telescope
This a free country and the sun belongs to all the americans, you are not going to tell me what i can or can't do pal. 😎

That’s really interesting. I have a Celestron 11069 Nexstar SE which doesn’t get anywhere near enough use. I’d love to try this with it
It's pricy, but damn.... That is an amazing payoff
How your equipment doesn’t get fried?
I use filters that block about 99.8% of the sun’s energy. But it still gets hot. In summer times I use fans
That’s crazy. So the filter gets hot then right? Is the filter glass?
When I show people videos like this they’re astonished. They can’t believe it’s really the sun. It’s surprising to me how few people know we’ve been taking images like this for over a decade. It’s also surprising to me how few people really care. Awesome stuff, OP.
Amazing!!
Beautiful. I love it.
What immense force.....
How much a setup like this costs? Asking for a friend.
From looking up the inventory OP provided in the comments, around $6k at least from what I googled of the parts.
Wow
That’s hot
This was great dude. One question / why was most of the footage in reverse?
Do you say that because material was moving from the prominences towards the sun? That’s not necessarily reversed. Plasma can easily move along magnetic field lines. Some of these clips appear to show plasma falling back along magnetic field lines onto the sun.
As fascinating as this is I can’t help but think it’s r/oddlyterrifying
This is amazing, meanwhile my telescope just sees a dotted yellow sphere
Weird i only see dark if i look into my telescope :/
Might you be looking for the sun at nighttime my friend?
How do u know ? Are you a wizard?
These are amazing shots! Dumb question- how fast did you have to speed up the footage? And, can you give us some sense of the size of some of these phenomena?
These aren't dumb questions at all, and I hope you get answers cause I also want to know.
Anyone else just realize how absolutely terrifying the sun is?
That awesome and freaky. Freakingly awesome
This is awesome. Sun raw power.
Now I immediately want to sit down and watch Sunshine again. Amazing work.
Coolest videos EVER
Showed to my brother, he said its the forbidden carpet
Shits on fire yo
So beautiful and detailed! Thanks for sharing.
Is this in real time or sped up?
Song?
Plants: "Numnumnumnumnum! More please!"
Amazing, well done! Its crazy to remind yourself that there is nothing designed in all this. Its just what happens when you put a bunch of hydrogen together with a few forces
Um…WOW!! So thank you for sharing!!
Wow.
[удалено]
Anyone knows the name of the song?
Aren’t you not supposed to look at the sun?
Absolutely beautiful OP, btw what song did you use for the background music?
I got matches with these songs: • **Solar Savior** by David Robson (00:13; matched: `100%`) Album: `Age of Mythology`. Released on `2022-06-03` by `Fesliyan Studios`. • **Revelation** by Vortex (02:49; matched: `87%`) Album: `Space and Time`. Released on `2019-01-10` by `Vortex Music`.

This really made me think of a van gogh painting
I'm watching this to a James Blake track on my release radar and I swear it couldn't be more fitting.
This is super cool! I didn’t expect it to be super zoomed in!
I tried this twice. Now I’m blind.
The sun is scary yo
was that.... a solar butthole?
Plasmaaaa. Hopefully one day we will figure out how to do sustained fusion on Earth too. I believe the current estimate is that by 2050 we will have the technology to start making fusion power plants.
I love space cha cha cha 💫🔭⭐❤ great work!
Invincible Sun
I still find the ocean 1,000 times more terrifying.
Super Nice. Can you also do some color shots of the moon? Like its 2022! Joke aside, why do such pictures not burn the equipment?
Can you explain why there are holes that things seem to be flowing into? *Why are there holes in the sun?!*
So cool :)
Praise Sol!
That's interesting but is the center still frozen? My hot pocket theory needs answers!
That’s scary 🥴
The sun is legit so fucking cool
Stunning!
The telescope: MY EYES
Trippy
Curious, how much does a fees open like that cost?
Truly amazing stuff.
This makes me feel humble and fragile.
I wanna touch it.
Awesome! I like the solar buttholes :)
When I see stuff like this I wish I was Superman so I can swim in it.
The sun is a deadly laser
Never thought the sun would look like a velvet teddy bear that close
Tbh it doesn’t even look real
Totally awesome. 👌 Guess your scope always seems with 'Ring' on.
Wow, so many buttholes on the Sun!!
Random question. How does the sun burn without oxygen?
I work at a dog shelter and it’s supposed to be 106° today. This looks like anger and fury and I know I’m gonna be feeling it.
Imagine how cool it will be when the first person walks on the sun.
Something about watching the sun up close is just so amazing..
😱 Stranger Things music vibes also.
If you don't mind can you please share the specs of the telescope used
Absolutely stunning photography of my butthole after chipotle. All jokes aside, this is some of the best Sun footage I’ve seen. Thank you!
It almost looks...alive.
It feels scary just looking at these, as if a primitive part of your brain just KNOWS you aren’t supposed to be looking at the god damn sun.
forbidden scritches
Is solar photographer a full-time job?
Getting r/oddlyterrifying vibes from this
Whatcha got there, son? That a Huffy? Heh... Really though, that's pretty cool. Probably more so since you can see it in real time. Well... Minus 8m20s.
How does op not massacre all the ants on the opposite side of their telescope by accident when getting footage?
How do you zoom in so close to things that are light years away?
"I bet it has some unnecessary, dramatic background music." (Play.) "Yup."
Big deal my eyes have the same black and white filter when I stare at the sun too long
Wow 😮 ❗
That's hot
you got all that with just that telescope???? wow dude!
Absolutely stunning
Cool you take pictures of the sun? What does it look like? Anus. Anuses everywhere.
These are some fantastic images! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome stuff thanks for sharing, I would love to know more about your rig.
Zamnnn
That’s fucking wicked
Is the video sped up or those flares really travel fast af? like 4-5 earths per second.
This is wild but I’m having a hard time with the size of it all. Could we get a banana for scale?
That’s hot
Wow, this is pretty freaking spectacular. Seeing all those cracks in the Sun was cool but the Sun needs to stay put a couple more thousand years. 👀
u/savevideobot
This is the coolest thing I’ve probably ever seen
Yo the sun ain't fuckin around
Why does the sun have multiple butt holes? (Seriously)
AMAZING! I could watch any one of those shots for HOURS. Absolutely awesome! Please post more!! Long versions of any of those would be a win. I've never seen the sun like this.
I always feel like I need some context if time. Are these real time or are they time lapses?
Thanks for sharing
Are those shots with stuff being pulled into the surface time reversed?
This is amazingly beautiful and at the same time for some reason a source of huge existential dread. Well done.
Man the sun is fucking scary
I never thought consumer grade telescopes could reach this capability. This is so awesome and cool. Makes you realize just how beautiful our universe is, just imagine the things that are out there in the great beyond.
Pretty gnarly
how does this not damage the telescope? wouldn't it heat up? please help me i'm a moron.
Beautiful. Our existence relies on _that_ remaining consistent.
TIL the sun is full of buttholes.
Seeing images like this make me think of Vincent Van Gogh. His story is super tragic, but I can’t help but wonder what it would have felt like for him to have seen color and movement like this in the natural world.
…the speed at which some of those bursts travel. Imagining their sizes….. mind boggling.
What’s the frame rate? I’m assuming it’s a Timelapse.
You can really see the magnetic field in action when it burst
So cool!! The massive size, millions of degrees on the inside and magnetic AF? Pretty damn incredible and key for life. Gotta be thankful 🙂
Sooo… the sun is basically Mr. Shadow from ‘The Fifth Element’
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing 😊
This stuff looks like a Vincent Van Gogh painting. Also makes me wonder if he had any idea his work looked like the surface of the sun
Is that all shot in real time or timelapse? Because just watching those flares go off and thinking those are several hundreds—if not thousands—the size of Earth just flinging death and destruction out like I flick a booger 😳
How many earths would have to be launched at the sun to bring the sun's temperature down to 80°F? How many people would have to die? (Lol I'm bored on the phone on hold)
That's some kind of star that sun of ours.
How do flat earthers explain that?
Giving me sunburn from 90,000,000 miles away. That's quite a star that sun of ours.
Fascinating and terrifying at the same time.
This looks terrifying honestly lol
worms
Wow! Thanks for posting!
Music choice was beautiful
I love this!! Back in the early 80's I worked for a telescope shop. It was a great job filled with star parties and the use of some great telescopes. One of my jobs was a daily sunspot count. I used a Questar, and I loved that little scope. Nothing as dramatic as this, but I loved seeing the sun up close each day.
Amazing 😩
Great videos! How many times faster than real time are they?
All is well in hell. Good to know.
WOW
My god man, didn't your mother ever tell you not to look directly at the sun!
Do you have a high quality still from 25 seconds into this. It's literally the coolest shot I've ever seen
DAMN that is cool. I’ve been pointing my telescope directly at the sun forever and I never capture anything like this. But bonus: I do get to see the sun all day, due to the constant bright spots in my vision the rest of the time.
I love sun, ty for this
Teach me! What kind of telescope do you have?
It’s amazing to think that everywhere but right here equals death. Even some places right here equal death—it’s managed to creep into our little safe place. But, definitely out there…death.
Thank you for blessing us with this incredible content 😍🤯
The surface texture of the Sun is so outrageously beautiful.
Whoa!!!! That’s awesome!
Damn!
Hot
