Lifting filament 24 Febraury

Post by Davidm »

The fairly long filament was enough to get me outside to do some imaging after a long break. A couple of images from Saturday show a bit of the detail in the structure. A look at GONG this morning showed the filament was already lifting off, so I went outside and grabbed a few shots as it faded away. Not spectacular, but interesting to see some action on the sun at the moment.

Lovely!

Amazing how fast it dissipated. I had hoped it would make it to the limb.

Very best,

These are very good shots David and show the filament fading away. I had hoped it would hang on a few days till clear skies returned :(

Great work :bow
