The Sun July 5 2026
This submission features a solar astrophotography image titled "Sole del 05 luglio 2026" ("Sun of July 05, 2026"), captured by photographer Rossana Miani from Villa del Bosco in Correzzola, Italy. Taken using a specialized personal telescope setup—including a Skywatcher 80ED telescope, a Daystar Quark chromosphere filter, an Energy Rejection Filter (ERF), and a ZWO ASI174MM monochrome camera—the image focuses on the detailed structure of the Sun's chromosphere. The final result was processed using specialized astronomical software (SharpCap, AutoStakkert!, and ImPPG) to highlight sharp, intricate features of solar activity.
