Secret confession. I presently have 4 analogue cameras recording the solar analemma every day. All images are recorded manually.. The mid-day analemma is being recorded in my office using a 4x5 glass plate pinhole camera. I then have the 3:45, 4:00 and 4:15 being recorded at home on 8x10, 4x5 and 6x9 format cameras . i believe I am an analemma addict. Here's one I recorded last year. Each picture takes a year to obtain. #iamsoboring

And here's a close-up of the solar prominence I took earlier this afternoon. #Sun #astronomy #NewZealand

Here's a #timelapse i took last night showing several hours of auroral action over Hoopers Inlet on the Otago Peninsula here in New Zealand #astronomy #aurora

Processed a few more images from Monday night's aurora australis display. Here's a 5 second exposure taken using a sony A7S2 camera with a 16mm lens working at f/2.8. This was 01:38:09 on 28/2/23 #aurora #auroraaustralis #NewZealand #beauty

So I had several cameras taking timelapse movies during the #aurora of 28th February. Here's about 3 hours compressed into a couple of minutes. #auroraaustralis #astronomy #NewZealand #aotearoa #landscapes
