Capturing & Processing the Sun – A Complete White-Light Imaging Workflow
White-Light Solar Imaging Guide
Capture high-resolution images of the Sun using real-world techniques
⚠️ Never look directly at the Sun through a telescope or camera.
Always use a certified solar filter securely mounted.
We’re capturing sharp, colourised images of the Sun using a short high-fps video and post-processing — a method that outperforms in-app stacking.
