Description

I'm thrilled to share my first solar image using the Daystar Quark and Skywatcher Solar Mount! 📸🔭 Despite facing scorching challenges like battling 50°C temperatures in the evening sun, wrestling with scope focus, and even contending with my laptop screen fading out from constant sun-watching, the journey has been nothing short of exhilarating! 😅🔥

It's all worth witnessing the mesmerizing details on the Sun's surface and those awe-inspiring solar prominences! 🌋🌅 The Blend of both in one frame is pure magic.

Swipe left to see the series of images that mark my progress:

Perfect Blend:- The harmony of surface features and prominences creates a breathtaking cosmic dance.

Surface Details:- Every sunspot is captured to the precise, revealing the Sun's dynamic personality up close. 

Solar Prominence:- Witnessing these gigantic arcs of solar material was like watching art unfold in the sky! 

A heartfelt thanks to @cheta_stock and @astrovert_tez for their invaluable guidance and support. Grateful for your expertise and encouragement! 🙏🌞 

Yes, it might have been a hot and challenging start, but as the UAE summer settles down, I can't wait to explore even more and take my solar imaging to new heights!
