That’s impressive. The prominence tore in half with the top part spiraling away as a CME leaving behind the arc that Terry posted the image of. I saw no trace of the arc when I observed. It probably got pulled back into the sun.

Nice job on finding this info John! Thanks!

James.

DeepSolar64

Ah, I overlooked that. Terry caught it earlier today via an SDOAIA304 image as an arch prom. I’ll see if I can find an animation of the liftoff when I get home from work.

Feel free to look for one!

James.

DeepSolar64

WoW!! The Rocket

Prom has lifted off. I wondered what happened to it. I thought it may have been a filament just inside the SE limb but thought it probably wasn’t since that filament seemed positioned just a bit too far inside the limb. You solved it John! Is the latter image from SOHO?

James

DeepSolar64

I think this is the southeast one. Very nice movement.

DeepSolar64

Wow, if it would have happened just a few hours ago I would have caught it.

SWL has it as. C5.17. Class.

DeepSolar64

Very nice images Arne. Your Ha image easily outperforms it's GONG equivalents. Nice coloring too. And plages/faculae show so well in CaK!

I’ll read a news report from it once in a while but that’s all I have seen. I have seen a bit more from the ESO Solar Orbiter.

Nice work on all, Brian.

Got some images of the nice protuberance.
Regards,

Your images were awesome Mr Roel!!

DeepSolar64

I am clouded out today. Can't see.

DeepSolar64

Very nice work Ken! The big prom shows up well in your CaK and CaH images. Check out Stephen's recent post. He captured some nice CaK images of that prom as well.

James

DeepSolar64

WoW!! I bet Mark is avoiding the canals!

DeepSolar64

Will do Alexandra! It's certainly worth consideration. I do save all of my visual data along with images of my own and from others including some from SolarChat as well as from GONG and SDO.

The Eiffel Tower entered my mind too but I liked the idea of a flaming rocket!!

DeepSolar64

Very nice work Stephen. The big prom looks very close to it's appearance I had in my Coronado SMII90. We must have been at the scopes at the same time or close to it.

The prom shows up well in CaK. Ken will be interested in seeing this!

James

DeepSolar64

Sorry Alexandra and Mark. Great Britain gets so much rain I am surprised you don't have mossy roofs!

I have cloudy skies today. No observations at least so far.

I am glad you have found AstroSpheric useful.

Stunning work, Eric. The second image from the bottom shows the " rocket prom " much as I saw it. I didn't however notice what looked like a cat's face in the " steam " beside it. The 4th picture up shows the SW proms much as I saw them. You must have imaged close to the time I d...

Brian,
It does seem to show something there marking the positions of where the disturbed area should be. The textured look reminds me of the textured ceilings in some houses! :-)

James

DeepSolar64

Brian,
I can certainly see a large patch of disturbance in both. And what appears to be a filament. Inverted images should show the magnetic induced disturbances very well also.

James

DeepSolar64

Eric, I'll certainly check out your images. I can see why Alexandra would use your images for the February challenge, Heliomagnetism. Your images are sharp enough to easily resolve the spicule mottles affected by the strong magnetic fields surrounding active regions affecting the surrounding chromos...

DeepSolar64

My SMII scopes have that issue. It's worse in double stack.

DeepSolar64

Alexandra, I have mentioned the disturbed field of spicule mottles near active regions numerous times in my viewing of them. In addition to being easily imaged they can be seen visually as well. It is truly a good field of study since electro-magnetism largely drives the Sun coming in only in second...

DeepSolar64

AstroVinyard, That's a very nice Ha FD image. The detail and sharpness is good and I love the soft pleasing yellow color you used. What equipment did you use to image? If looking into the sun indeed causes madness then you are congregating with a bunch of loonies here!! :? :roll: :o :mrgreen: Welcom...

Very nice full discs Arne. That Coronado SMII60 did well! The William Optics scope worked well on the CaK image as well.

I would love one of those. I hear they are superior to both their Coronado and Lunt equivalents.

Thanks for the vids!
