Interesting Filament, Convection Cells | Oct 23rd 2019
Heya,
Woke up to a fairly clear sky, it's been storming for days with the remnants of the tropical storm that just finished up in the Gulf of Mexico. Not much going on today on our star, but a fairly interesting and dark filament, doesn't look like much at course scale, but at fine scale it reveals interesting little structural details and a wispy little tail even. Found a wee spot with some polarity throwing up a little filament near the center of the disc in the chromosphere network too, very tiny. No major prominences. Grabbed some convection cells to round it out to see some high resolution examples of our deep solar minimum.
Colored:
Earth Scale:
B&W:
Equipment:
C8 Edge + Aires D-ERF + ASI290MM camera
ED80 (masked to 52mm F11) + ASI174MM camera
PST Module + Baader Red CCD-IR Block internal ERF for chromosphere
Baader 610nm for photosphere
Very best,

Nice work, Marty. The Earth scale is a nice reminder of just how massive these structures really are.
