Okay, the title was a joke. I did not take this image, but why does this image of the sun have so mucn more detail than other HA pics? And what kind of equipment would I need to capture such contrast?

When does this place officially open by the way? I could get lonely in here. :noob:

I think that shot is taken from the orbiting solar satellite called SOHO, but I could be wrong. Great shot though.

I think it is opening this weekend, otherwise I will be getting lonely to.
