Quiescent filament and plasma rain (animations)

[GreatAttractor]

Not much was happening on the Sun on Friday, but a few hours of good seeing cannot go unused.

30-second intervals, 2:49 h total (with breaks); note the penumbral waves around the small sunspot and the curiously converging mottles in bottom-left corner:



Plasma rain caught in crosswind (30-second intervals, 2:18 h with breaks):



Everything shot with a 90 mm refractor + Lunt 50 etalon, PGR Chameleon 3 mono (ICX445), processed with Stackistry and ImPPG.

These are superb! I wish the sun was out that long for me that I could do an ani like that, normally mine are a couple of tens minutes max.

Thank you, everyone.

What a good idea to do the first as a negative, it really helps to visualise the filament and spicule motions - very nice indeed! I like the proms too
