Hi All,

I tried taking the sun in white light with a dSLR (Canon 7D) and 300 mm lens but try as I may I could not get much detail. After a few more hours I managed to wait until the sun moved to a higher position for my telescope, 90mm F10 achromat to take with my ASI 174mm camera.
Here is a composite of the sunrise today in Chandos Park. The sun is not to scale (White light colourised). Maybe it will be this big in a billion years ?

Taken today 17th May 2022 : 05.50 hours landscape: 12:40 hours - Sun in White light

That's a lovely composite, I really like it it is the kind of photo like this which find their way to the papers and suddenly it is the headline ' Sun the largest this century' It is all good fun

Thanks Alexandra.
Its a trick using Luminosity masking, and also the Layers properties in Photoshop. BlendIf...Its very useful and I have just scratched the surface of its abilities.
