How to capture AMAZING solar images (2024 update!)

I have taken thousands of solar images in both hydrogen alpha and white light with a variety of telescopes. I've also interviewed many of the world's top solar imagers to learn their tips and tricks to produce spectacular photos.

This video tutorial combines all of that experience to show you everything you need to capture your own amazing solar images. All hydrogen alpha photos were taken with my Lunt 100MT universal telescope. Broadband photos were taken with either the Lunt100MT or my TEC160FL with a herschel wedge.

I use a variety of solar cameras. More information on choosing a solar camera can be found at the link below.
