The Solar Imaging Learning Curve
The Solar Imaging Learning Curve
Join us on Saturday, February 21st, 2026 at 4:00 pm at the Campbell Aquatics Building when Brittney Miller will join us to talk about solar imaging and the learning curve she climbed. Many of us are deep sky imagers, and it's important to note that lunar, planetary, and solar imaging aren't "easier," they just require a different set of skills. Brittney will cover equipment, processing techniques, and citizen science programs you can get involved in through the Astronomical League including tracking sun spots, prominences, and CME's (known as solar flares in the vernacular).
Charlie Elliott Astronomy is a welcoming group of observers and imagers from all walks of life. Check out some of the images from our members and friends from 2025 in the Charlie Elliott Astronomy Image of the Month Gallery!
