Flight to the Sun

I now appreciate the talent and skill that went into this shot. Like so many others, I went right past it many times because I was sure it was photoshop. We all pay a price when too many 'photographers' do not care about truth in their images.

I must comment here to give you 7's. This is fantastic. You are obviously very talented, as well as lucky.

Wow, this is fantastic (I think it must be a while since you put this on). I have a similar one, didn't realise so many people managed to get this kind of image!

amazing

awesome photo.

Stunning capture.

Fantastic capture.

WOW!

While the tecnology of a lunar landing is mature, one group was going to attempt a solar landing. The way that they planned to avoid the conflagration was to land at night!

Absolutely incredible image. Is this without any PS manipulation? If it is then it deserves 7's all round.........brilliant!

Great shot.... i agree

H alpha filter & a scope right ?

 

An incredible picture and perfect timing in realization.

i did see pictures with the moon, but never with the sun

Out of this world capture. In every sense.

Cool shot. I had 3 or 4 chances in one night to catch a simular shot with the moon. but missed them all LOL

how you did that photo? can you explain us?

Excellent pic

This is a great shot Thierry. I've just spent the last hour viewing all the images on your website, and I have to say you are very good at your craft. I especially like the shot of the International Space Station transiting across the sun. Fantastic!

 

I've begun to develop an interest in astrophotgraphy myself over the past year or so, and I don't think the average photographer understands or appreciates the difficulty in attaining the shots you have captured. Keep up the good work.

Wild!

 

It shows we are intruding everywhere though...Let's leave some bits unsullied and unmilaterised, like Antartica, the oceans and space for a start.

Wow.Great.7/7

Bravo, maestro!

Classy!

A one of a kind marvel for me. All the props in the world Thierry!

Extraordinary shot. While I am a fan of astrophotography, it is not very often that I see this kind of originality. Most are happy (justifiably so) to simply get a good shot of astronomical objects; this photograph takes it to an entirely different level. 7/7

Not sure I can add much more to what's already been said, but I did want to salute this shot. I'm in awe. I'm now very curious about the equipment, the setup and the mechanics involved. Thanks for including equipment details in your info. I just need to check it out.

Great shot and good timing. I have yet to see this any time I view the moon. I can't wait to add such a snap to my personal collection.
