Ralph Smith from Deeral in Queensland, Australia, has been photographing the Sun’s surface and giant sunspots, for around 14 months.
Photographer Smith, said:
“My equipment is off the shelf amateur astronomy gear. It is all within reach of a normal working person.”
The Sun is 93 million miles away from Earth.
Huge bursts of flames leaping from the sun’s surface.
“The sun is of course a star and it is forever changing.”
The sun is pictured using a Calcium K-Line Filter.
Sunspots on its surface captured from his garden in Queensland.
The prominence plasma flows along a tangled and twisted structure of magnetic fields.
“There are no text books on this subject.”
