Buffalo-based photographer Alan Friedman has captured a series of detailed photographs of the Sun through a telescope.
Using several special filters that allow the photos to be taken without damaging his camera or eyes, Friedman’s images of the Sun look like something you might see under a microscope.
“My photographs comprise a solar diary, portraits of a moment in the life of our local star,” wrote Friedman. “Most are captured from my backyard in Buffalo, NY.”
“Using a small telescope and narrow band filters I can capture details in high resolution and record movements in the solar atmosphere that change over hours and sometimes minutes.”
