This is a 5-hour exposure of the sun, shot using a modified telescope and roughly 2TB worth of photos. Captured from my backyard today as part of a timelapse video.

This is insane. From your backyard you say… wow. I’d ask you questions on how but I will just read the article you wrote about it instead.
It reminds me of when I was a kid and the ‘nerdy’ neighbor kid pulled out a super nice telescope in his back yard at times. Ofc I made fun of him and his dad when they were using it to my ‘cool’ friends. Then they invited me over to look through it and there it was. Saturn and all its rings, super clear. Could even clearly see the shadow of the rings against the planet.
Been a space nerd ever since and I’m still friends with that ‘nerd’… nuts!

This is amazing. I can’t even start conceiving the greatness of this star body. So much energy, so much power. We are nothing. Thank you for this image. Loved it.

DO NOT attempt this unless you know what you’re doing. If you want to get into this kind of photography, [I wrote an article about how I do it](https://cosmicbackground.io/blogs/learn-about-how-these-are-captured/capturing-our-star)
I’m still working on the timelapse video, [I’ll share it here tomorrow if you want to see it](https://www.instagram.com/cosmic_background/?hl=en)
