Prom and disc on March 28

Post by krakatoa1883 »

Another sad awakening today :( Sky is clear but I didn't really want to image, I'm not in the mood. However strong rains are foreseen from tomorrow up to mid of next week so I decided to set up the scope. The disc is almost featureless but a nice prom is visibile on the NE limb, visually is a beautiful sight. Thanks for looking.

You have to stay positive Raf, it is very important. Remember we are always here if you need to chat and hopefully the Sun will always be with you too (so long as the clouds stay away). What a beautiful prominence you witnessed today :bow :hamster:

Ciao Raf: you have some beautiful images there ! I am in quarantine myself until April 4th as I have been exposed on March 20th to another person that has it, but I am OK for now, no symptoms or fever. It was a shocker yesterday when this person told me... we all have to hang on tight. It is nice to have this community of online friends all over the world. Stay safe.

Lovely images, I've imaged over the last several day's but not processed them yet. I look after my elderly mum so it's quite stressful. Keep positive, this too will pass. Keep safe all my friends.
