Stunning images of the sun taken from amateur photographer's garden shed

You could be forgiven for thinking these stunning images of the sun were taken using an expensive bit of high-tech kit from NASA.

But you'd be wrong. They are the work of one man with a passion for taking pictures from his garden shed in Buckinghamshire.

Dave Tyler is fascinated by astronomy. Combine that with his love of photography, and this is what you get.

Dave, a retired engineer, built the makeshift conservatory in his back garden in High Wycombe after being inspired by the BBC's 'The Sky At Night'.

And he doesn't just set his sights on the sun. Closer to home he took this picture of Jupiter.

Needless to say, David uses special equipment to look at the sun. So don't try this at home.
