$How I created a Hydrogen Alpha Solar telescope I am fortunate to have two great solar telescopes. But to get more aperture in hydrogen alpha, I either had to spend $$$ for another refractor I really didnt need, or build my own using an existing scope. This video describes my journey, in detail, and shows what I achieved. I got a great result, but your mileage may vary!

$I caught a solar flare! #astronomy #sun #solarimaging Timelapse of activity around Sunspot AR4267 on Nov 1 2025 from 15:34 to 17:10 GMT. About halfway through several flares erupt near the sunspot. I used my TEC160FL refractor with ERF, dual hydrogen alpha etalons and an Apollo M camera. Guiding was with Heliomaker software and an AM5 mount with Sharpcap.
