Filament Jump

[ischua]

Did anyone catch the filament jump off the sun today at about 2:30 eastern US time. It only lasted a few minutes and was gone. Here's a shot with my neximage solar system imager its not on par with what you can do but I'm learning.
I used a recontacted Coronado SM 60 single stacked in Ha no photoshop

Good catch...I think I shut down about a half hour before that time.

Great capture, what happened to the etalon.

The scope was given to me. It sat in a shed for a few years after the tripod fell over with it. The etalon had been taken apart and everything was very dirty.With some help from DaveG I was able to recontact it. From what I hear I got lucky.
The views are wonderful with it but I need a better imager 640x480 will never give me the captures you guys get.

I watched the event starting as a triangular solid lump on the sun, to the jump and disappearance. The view through my Quark 90mm SV APO was photographic like- very high detail and sharp as a razor. The SW120ED upped the view again. Great catch ishua! I hope some others caught it too.
