Nice ones Alfred!

Flares and their timing can be so fickle sometimes! Lovely motion in the plasma around the spots. The seeing in that animation looks amazing.

Thanks Franco!

Thanks Mark and James! I agree Mark, I should check into another camera, any recommendations?

James, the time stamp of 16:26 would place it at that first flare that spread out like a wave.

Great shot of this interesting spot

Nice! I actually see the head of a bear in the 3rd pic.

Great shots Lou!

Awesome shot Daniel!

Not as big a blast as the M8 two days ago but imaging for over 4 hours (I know, right?) I finally caught a flare, make that two flares, within 50 minutes of each other in the same area.

Wonderful session, Eric! Great shot of that floating prom

Great disk!

Excellent Ivan, nice that you caught those detached proms!

Thanks Franco!

Nice catch Ralph! A great example of a Disparition Brusque as described in this paper:

For the total eclipse at totality you want something you can remove the filter from, which means a front mounted solar filter for WL is your best choice for ease so you can see the corona. For the annular eclipse you will leave the filter on the entire time so an Ha scope could add interest to the l...

That’s a great shot Stu! I know the feeling although I’ve never bumped my scope hard I have inadvertently spun the tilting wheel when putting the scope away and the next outing wondered if something had happened to the etalon.

Great images

Great shots Douglas!

Great shots Douglas!

Thanks James and Mark! Just checked GONG and it looks like the proms have all taken a hike today!

Definitely ghostly looking! Nice catch!
