Huge 145MP Photo Shows Two of the Sun’s Atmospheres at Once

Talented astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy shot this wonderous 145-megapixel image of the sun, which he captured with a specially modified telescope.

“The Corona shot was captured using a Canon Digital Rebel and a 300mm Tamron telephoto lens,” he explains.

The chromosphere image is a mosaic of some 45 tiles, with each tile a stack of 2,000 photos. His telescope has a focal length of 4,000mm. McCarthy says that he is forever “tinkering” with his telescope, using custom and modified parts, to get greatly detailed images.
