Welcomed Home by a Nice Prom 16th Oct

Hi Folks. I have been away on holidays for a few months in the US and my first outing since coming back I was presented with this lovely prom! Good to be back home :) Taken with the ES127mm and Quark Prominence version, Basler 174 camera.

Well this was the best of 4 eclipses I have witnessed. Amazing temperature drop at 2500m (8,130 ft) and the extra altitude gave a feeling of excellent clarity for viewing the corona.

Nicely done. I like the interpretation of your data by your processing that focuses on the plasma "flows". Repeated use of sharpening then smoothing filters delivers a nice liquid like feel. Like you say not to all people tastes but just another interesting way to look at the data.
