How to Become An Expert Solar Imager and take and process images like the professionals
You can learn the secrets right now with this amazing course
Dear Fellow Astronomer
I'm sure that you have seen amazing pictures of the Sun in magazines and on the Internet taken by amateur astronomers and wondered how they have done it.
Or maybe you didn't know where to start, or what equipment you would need, or perhaps you were too frightened after all the warnings you have received about observing the Sun....
...well we can show what equipment you need and how you can produce images to be proud of, all in plain simple English.
Pete Lawrence is one of the worlds best solar imagers and has had many of his images published in magazines and on the Internet. He is a co-presenter of the BBC Sky at Night television programme with Sir Patrick Moore and a major contributor to the BBC Sky at Night Magazine. He has many NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) images to his credit and regularly has his solar images published on 'Space Weather.com'.
Ninian Boyle is an experienced astronomer and astronomy educator. His speciality is in astronomical equipment. He ran the telescope dealership 'Venturescope' for fifteen years, and has experience in setting up and installing astronomical observatories and now devotes his time to bringing the wonderful hobby of astronomy to a wider audience. He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and a member of the British Astronomical Association. Ninian is also an enthusiatic Solar observer and imager.
We originally ran this course at a planetarium in southern England and it had such a fantastic reception on the day, with many other people wanting to come along but couldn't due to distance and timing, that we decided to turn it into a product that we could send out to desperate and confused would be solar imagers. In fact we have produced what we believe is the ultimate course on Solar Imaging, that will give you all the information that you need, from what equipment you can use and how to set it up, right through to acquiring the images and the final processing to give you results that you can be proud to show the world!
Starting with information on what type of imaging you can do, whether it be white light imaging or using the more interesting modern hydrogen-alpha filters and telescopes, we take you through the whole process step by step. The course contains:
All this information from such professionals would ordinarily cost hundreds of pounds or dollars.
However, we would like you to benefit from all this valuable information at a price that most people can afford, so we've decided to let you have it all for just £35.00 ($57)...
We're not done yet....
We are so confident that you'll be so pleased and learn so much from your course that we are willing to back it up with a 6 Month guarantee
That’s right, you have
6 months to watch and evaluate the course
and if at the end of that time you can honestly tell us that you have not learnt anything useful we
will give you a prompt and courteous refund
Wishing you Clear Skies - both day and night.
