Solar Imaging 101: how to see the activity on our closest star

As we revel in the 2025 solar maximum, Brighton-based cellist by day and astrophotographer by night, Ivana, will take us through best ways to observe and photograph all the amazing features on the surface of the Sun. From sunspots to filaments and flares, from £20 solar film to £2000 solar telescopes, we will explore what is necessary for safe observation and uncovering of our Star’s turbulent activity.

Arrive from 7pm for a 7:30pm start.

For this meeting we will be at Wagner Hall on Regency Road, Brighton. Attendance is free, but we would be grateful if those of you who are able to could donate a few pounds to help cover the cost of hiring this event space. We will have a card reader and a money box you can drop your donations in on the night. We also have a bank account you can donate to electronically.

Brighton Astro is inclusive and welcomes everybody.

Please note that the venue has a bar that sells alcohol.
