2012-02-08: Some prominences

Post by NandoPG »

Hi fellows,
Despite an empty sun of spots, there were some huge prominences today. I imaged three of them under reasonable seeing (2.8/5).







Thanks for looking,

Fernando

Outstanding Fernando! I think I like the black sun better than the gray one.
