A Soil-Tilling Sergal 🌱🪏Jul 3, 2025

Lunchtime daystar imaging.

I still have no idea how to use CCDCiel or Siril, I wish someone could teach me how, I think I got it working once and then it refused to work again. I hate using default OS camera software with autoexposure.

Anyway, there's some cute starspots up there right now.

Solar Orbiter gets world-first views of the Sun’s poles

Thanks to its newly tilted orbit around the Sun, the European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft is the first to image the Sun’s poles from outside the ecliptic plane. Solar Orbiter’s unique viewing angle will change our understanding of the Sun’s magnetic field, the solar cycle and the workings of space weather.
