animation of the huge prominence on 28 October

Post by stef41 »

good evening to all,

on thursday afternoon i had the chance to image the sun during the biggest solar eruption i have ever seen!

all images are made with the fs60 with its sm40 double stack, BF10, glasspath x1.7 and zwo178mm on vixen GP

At 13:00 UT, the protrusion was already showing a nice size of almost 200 000 kms!

I decided to make an animation on it by making 61 movies of 900 images between 13h03 and 14h16 UT
AS!3, photoshop, registax 5, iris and virtualdub processing
it got so long during that hour that I couldn't crop properly on the top and on the right :)

At 14:20 UT, it flew more than 600 000 kms away from the surface of the sun! (that is to say nearly half a solar diameter)

I beat my record for the largest image of a protuberance, which was on 16 April 2012! :D

Many thanks Stephane for sharing your excellent presentation.
This is prominence that I saw in the northern-hemisphere yester between about 1215z and 1315z using my friend's 11-year old Lunt 35T-Ha scope
and wanted to spend more time, but had appointments elsewhere.

Was an excellent sight.

That is an awesome liftoff you caught Stephane, and so well done! I love how it accelerates the further away from the surface that it gets.

Stephane,
It's amazing on how good of resolution your equipment is to be so small. A 40mm etalon on a 60mm scope.

BIG thumbs up here!!
