Looks like I have a new goal to do sometime
Although this comm is for original content only, this post will stay up since it’s gotten a lot of traction (and is a pretty badass pic)
Woops sorry about that, didn’t realize it was originals only.
Thanks for keeping the post up though!
Space fertilization, complete!
The sun is pregananant???
Pregánte!

Holy crap, this is an amazing photo
He says he took it will a telescope but that looks to be about 750mm of zoom so it could probably be done with an extremely high aperture zoom lens too if you can give it a hydrogen alpha filter
I wonder how did he time it right. This is probably below 0.1s window - the only way I imagine he could pull this off, is to record video at very high frame rate
Says he’s got video so I’m guessing this is a still from it?
Still props. Not only does your timing have to be spot on, this type of shot can damage your sensor.
There would absolutely be a filter on the front of the telescope though, is there really still risk to the sensor
I honestly do not know.
Even though you’re filtering out a lot of the light, it’s still a bunch of glass gathering light to hit a focal point, the sensor. And I’ve seen examples of sensor damage happening very fast. Definitely wouldn’t want to accidentally take a long exposure.
This is not taken with sunlight hitting the lens it was taken with a hydrogen alpha filter which is also different from the usual solar filters, the hydrogen alpha filters black more wavelength and pass only this specific wavelength so despite the image seeming very detailed it is only because the intensity is high relative to it being just a small band of wavelength so there is no risk of damaging the camera sensor
Yeah it was probably a still from a video, the photo at the right time isnt even half of the tight variables to get a shot like this too. You’d have to take into account the time of year for the sun to be correctly placed at the location where the launch is happening, know what time the rocket is getting launched and if that lines up with the sun and if there is a suitable location to line up the two at the right angle.
I’m very new to the hobby, but I do have a very nice spotting scope (Vortex Razor 27-60x85) and a solar filter I bought for it for the eclipse last year. Could something similar be achieved with it and an adapter for my MFT mirrorless camera?
I can reliably see Saturn’s rings with the scope, but I’ve never tried shooting the sun.
Solar filters will produce a different image than this because they filter out different wavelengths of light, to get similar images you need a hydrogen alpha filter, you definitely can look at the sun with that telescope though just keep in mind it could damage anything that is not made for passing light through, just as a precaution keep the mirrorless camera exposure setting a little on the lower side.
I have used my mirrorless camera on my telescope loads of times and have not damaged it yet as far as I know, I have only used a solar filter for it though. I once put my collimator laser thing in my eyepiece hole while it was a pointed at the sun and that was a mistake lol, it burnt a hole into the plastic target printing in no longer than 2 seconds, at least you will know if you have made a mistake rather quickly lol.
Here is what a solar filter picture will look like
This blows my mind
The sun lights a match

Is it elon’s dick?
Legit or AI ?
Are you asking if I am ai or if the photo is ai lol?
The photo is not ai and neither am i
