A few images of some fabulous proms..

Post by grimble_cornet »

Lots of sunshine and even more haze but couldn't resist a few shots with the trusty Tal 100 plus Quark Chromosphere:

A 4-pane mosaic showing 2662 and a superb collection of prominences on the Eastern limb

I tried to increase the gamma and exposure to maximise detail in the proms but with limited success :oops:



As the haze increased and the seeing deteriorated I decided to try Mark's trick of binning x2 with the Grasshopper:

Quite pleased with the results............... wish I had gone for the 152mm scope now :lol: :oops: :lol:
