3 hour timelapse of the sun using a Daystar Quark Chromosphere solar filter
The capture is inverted and colorized
Equipment Used: 120mm f8 refractor | Heq5 pro mount | Daystar Quark Chromosphere | ZWO 432mm pro | ZWO 120 mm | ZWO Mini guide scope | ZWO AEF
Acquisition: 500 frames every 15 seconds captured with Firecapture | Tracked with LuSol
Processing: Stacked in Autostakkert4 | processed in Pixinsight using SolarToolbox | footage stabilized and edited in After

That’s incredible. Thanks to a project at work, I’ve learned that the sun’s solar cycle will peak in July 2025, leading to a maximum of solar activity and coronal mass ejections that will last for the next 3 years. Will we see a Carrington-level event? Probably not, but I bet you’ll have even more opportunities to capture incredible shots like these!
