Photograph of Sun made using special h-alpha (H-a) band solar telescope.
In 2022 we are able to observe growing activity of our closest star – on
this photograph – made in very narrow bandpass (around hydrogen emission line)
we are able to see spectacular active regions, prominences and small
chromosphere details presented with extraoddinary resolution.

However, his greatest passion is the large-scale photography of the Solar System objects - planets, the Moon and our closest star - Sun (using a dedicated solar telescope).
