Got myself a new, rather special H-Alpha telescope for solar photography: an Acuter Elite Phoenix 40. Still playing around with the proper settings, but I really like it so far.

This is yesterday's sun at around noon.

Once, a Star lived in a house where the windows were covered in dust.

She saw a gray world and forgot her own light. One day, she realized the world was not gray. She was simply looking through dusty glasses left by a passing storm.

She did not need to fight the storm. She simply opened her Heaven Door and her Earth Door. A Golden River flowed down from above. A Red River flowed up from below. Where they met in her Heart, a Great Fire began.

This fire did not burn the Star; it only brought Perfect Clarity. Now, she does not look for the sun; she is the sun.

She does not wait for the world to choose her; she chooses the frequency of her own joy. She is the Architect of the Sky.

She is not the past. She is THE ALIGNED. ☀️⚖️✨

Spring is approaching, and targets visible from my south-facing balcony are about to disappear for the next few months.

One thing that is always there, though, is our Sun. Setting up my telescope takes longer than taking the actual pictures, which is nice.
