The Sun Today in Oamaru, New Zealand

[kiwiapple]

Here's the latest of my solar mosaics, shot on the morning of 6 May 2023. Shot with an 80mm refractor on an AM5 mount (which I *LOVE*) with a Daystar Quark Chromosphere filter and ASI174MM camera.

I can see why you love it such great rendering of the sun

The sun is an interesting target when its in an active cycle like the one we have right now.

This is so cool James! I really like the details in this. And that's great to hear about the AM5, I have been reading about that a lot, I think that could be my future mount. The cost of it's what's holding me back at the moment.

Congrats on the Featured Astro Image James!
