Images From the Barden Ridge Observatory

  The Sun in Calcium light

 

Various layers of our sun's Atmosphere can be observed by the use of narrow band filters.

The above image was captured on October 1st 2008 using a 2.4 angstrom CaK telescope and Skynyx 2-2CCD.

Blue violet light is a little hard to see visually....scroll your mouse over the image for a CCD view!

Check your monitor, can you see all 26 grey scales below?
