Today's huge and fast prominence, only 15 minutes between each of those images! 😎 The Earth at scale on the left 😲

Today's partial eclipse from Paris in Halpha and calcium K 😎

Vivid and colorful northern lights on Jan 27 from Skibotn, Norway 🤩 Coming soon: the breathtaking show of Feb 1st, thanks to a huge coronal hole 😊 Sigma fp-mod & 14mm 1.8 Art

I did not want to miss Saturday's occultation of Saturn, it was the last one until 2031! So I traveled to Tarragona, Spain 😊 The star besides Saturn is 85 Aquarius (mag 6.7) C8 Edge HD & ASI178MC

I got Bronze medal at the 24/25 German Photo Book Prize! 🤩 <<This award recognizes the exemplary photographic quality of the award-winning work >> Many thanks to dpunkt Verlag 🤗 Or course, the original French 4th edition is also available in all bookstores! 😉

My very last shot of Tsuchinshan-ATLAS from Gran Canaria last night...before going back to France! 🤗 Sigma fp mod & 20mm 1.4 Art DG DN, 15s @f/2

My last shot of Tsuchinshan-ATLAS on Thursday from Maspalomas dunes (Gran Canaria), with a view of the lighthouse 😊 It's amazing to see how fast the comet moved away from Earth, just three days after my Monday shot in La Palma! 😲

Tsuchishan-ATLAS tonight with its tail and anti-tail over the huge Magic telescopes at La Palma observatory, Canary islands 😊 Sigma fp & 20mm 1.4 DG DN

Giant X4.5-class flare in AR3825 today! 😍 Just 15 minutes before this image, the flare ejected matter visible on the left at very high speed: 400 km/s! The Earth at scale in the corner 🙂

Magnificent prominences today including huge loops! 😎 The Earth at scale on top 😮

The Moon, Saturn...and the ISS! 😎 After the May 31 occultation from Argentina, I wanted something more challenging! 😁 I decided to install my telescope in Spain, in a precise place near the Almendra dam in Castilla&Leon to catch the ISS just 30 min after the occultation 😜

One of the biggest sunspots of the solar cycle faces Earth today! 😎 Several groups are able to host powerful eruptions that could generate geomagnetic storms and auroras in the days to come 😍

A large sunspot group and the solar granulation in high resolution with C14 EdgeHD and Astrolar photo sheet 😎 Each granulation cell is approximately 1000 km wide and lives only a few minutes.

A lot of sunspots today! 😎 The Earth at scale in the corner 😮 FSQ-106 refractor on AM-5, ASI183MM, H-alpha and Calcium filters

Exceptional eruptive protuberance today! 😍 It exploded within minutes and I had the luck to capture several moments between clouds above Paris 😎 Earth to scale at left edge of frame 😯 Coronado SM90 DS, Taka FSQ-106 on ZWO AM-5, ASI183MM

Impressive solar activity today: many sunspot groups, a huge prominence (dark filament over the disk) and above all outstanding eruptive loops materializing the solar magnetic fields! 😎 The Earth at scale on the left edge 😅

The May 31 occultation of Saturn from NE Argentina: genuine, as visible through the C8. No photomontage, no AI! 😊 The turbulence was high but the sky was clear to show Saturn partly disappearing behind the dark part of the Moon (grazing occultation) Image 2/2: during occultation

This huge sunspot group generated many eruptions, causing the historical auroras visible from many places on Earth on May 10 😎 The Earth at scale at the right edge, near the giant prominence 😅
