I'm thrilled to share my first solar image using the Daystar Quark and Skywatcher Solar Mount! 📸🔭 Despite facing scorching challenges like battling 50°C temperatures in the evening sun, wrestling with scope focus, and even contending with my laptop screen fading out from constant sun-watching, the journey has been nothing short of exhilarating! 😅🔥

It's all worth witnessing the mesmerizing details on the Sun's surface and those awe-inspiring solar prominences! 🌋🌅 The Blend of both in one frame is pure magic.

Swipe left to see the series of images that mark my progress:

Perfect Blend:- The harmony of surface features and prominences creates a breathtaking cosmic dance.

Surface Details:- Every sunspot is captured to the precise, revealing the Sun's dynamic personality up close.

Solar Prominence:- Witnessing these gigantic arcs of solar material was like watching art unfold in the sky!

A heartfelt thanks to @cheta_stock and @astrovert_tez for their invaluable guidance and support. Grateful for your expertise and encouragement! 🙏🌞

Yes, it might have been a hot and challenging start, but as the UAE summer settles down, I can't wait to explore even more and take my solar imaging to new heights!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
