Saturday Sun 8th April 2023 with animation

[Carbon60]

A beautiful day and another opportunity to capture some rays across the spectrum. My usual setups and processing for FDs and close views, but this time with an animation sequence (for a change). A surge type prom looked to be a promising prospect for some activity and I didn't want to miss it.

Thanks for looking.

Great captures Stu, that surge prom animation is really impressive. I wonder if that faint eruption from active region is part of it too? I wonder where the other end is going...
