Amateur astronomer Jose Manteca from Begues, who lives near Barcelona, took these photos from a small observatory on the terrace of his house. The 54-year-old man says he spends hours on the terrace gazing into space. He has developed a technique to take 15 images per second using a humble DSLR camera and a solar telescope. Images include stunning close-ups of solar prominences, sunspots and even a plane crossing the face of the sun
