The Sun
The tumultuous
personality
of our star
resonates in
this photo by
Newton. He
captured this
image using
a Coronado
So larMax II
90mm double
stack solar
telescope with an
H-alpha filter and
a DMK 31 AUO
CCD camera. It
was processed
with Registax.
Solar Eclipse
Top, this image of the July 11, 1991, total
solar eclipse in Baja, Mexico, was taken with
a Borg 4” refractor. Above, Newton’s first
total solar eclipse was March 7, 1970, in
Oaxaca, Mexico. This image of the diamond
ring was taken with a 450mm telescope.
Right, this image of a partial eclipse of the
setting Sun was taken from the Observatory
B&B in Osoyoos, British Columbia.
