Large prom from Sydney Australia 31st December 2021.

Post by GUS »

Caught this around 5pm from my home, west of Sydney Australia. Sketched on Black paper as seen through a Lunt LS100 SS scope at 204x magnification.
It was fast moving (changes in minutes) so had to work quick, made a few sketches. This was quite a large event, and was associated with a flare 700,000 Km's away in the North hemisphere. see here on Spaceweather- https://www.spaceweather.com/

WoW, awesome sketch, Gus! 204x. Seeing has never let me get that high of a magnification. 166x is the highest I have ever been able to use here. I only occasionally exceed 100x with my Coronado SMII90, even in single stack.
