Location
This was taken from my backyard with telescope with a full aperture solar filter... it was a chance shot when a plane flew across the sun..... as silhouette with con trails .... you can actually see sunspots on the sunTime
it was taken in the day time...when the sun was outLighting
natural lighting outdoors.... I do have a solar filter on the telescope full aperture . The image was desaturated to yield black and white using GIMP.Equipment
Based on memory I own 3 telescopes capable of solar imaging.... 6" newtonian , 8" Celestron C8, 6" B& L scope all are motor mount driven to track sun and stars ... I can't remember which telescope I used....Inspiration
Main purpose was to capture sun spots and plane just happen to show up by chance.Editing
Destaturate the pic to yield black and white pic using GIMP software.In my camera bag
this was specialized equipment that I normally don't use.... telescope is too big to lug aroundFeedback
Chance sometimes play a great role in composition.
