Solar Prominence View from Down Under

Post by Solbrillante »

Attached are five images of the Solar prominence which is currently on show on the Solar Northeast limb. They are taken at differing times to show movement within the prominences.
All images were taken in Hydrogen Alpha. The filter used was a Daystar Quark Prominence filter attached to a C11. The imaging camera was a ZWO174MM.
I was lucky to record what I did just before the clouds thickened and the rain swept in.

Thanks guys for your positive comments they are very much appreciated. This last week has been a minefield of commitments and cloud. On the day I started with a beautiful blue sky which soon clouded over then came the rain. I'm very lucky to record what I got.
Thanks again.

Gerard
