Hi Russell, Astronomy/Astrophotography in general , but sitting out in the sun is a whole lot more comfortable than being out in the cold at 3am ... All-niters for me these days tend to mean a 6 hour session under the stars ... All shot with a Canon 1000D through a Tal 100RS telescope and 1.4x Barlow lens giving a focal length of 1400mm , with Baader ND3.8 Solar Imaging film and an OIII filter. Started shooting the Sun in earnest a couple of years ago as a counter to the cloudy nights at the time , it soon became a bit of an obsession and I strove to get a shot every day if possible , 2014 saw me bag 309 days from 365 , not a target I'm likely to top so a more relaxed approach this year ... My Solar Imaging gallery is found here if anyone's interested ... http://www.astrobin.com/users/steveward53/

Following Martyn's theme ... Another daylight Moon ... Better timed airliner ... more luck than judgement ... A week's worth of the biggest sunspot group for 20 odd years ... And a close-up of said group ... Click on thumbnails for a full size image ...
