Below are a selection of images and a time lapse video of a prominence. The Sun is quiet by recent standards but still some interesting areas of activity on show. Equipment is detailed in each image, the prominence and time lapsed whilst not labelled were captured using the Lunt 60mm scope, ASI174mm camera and TeleVue 4x Powermate.
1) First up is the solar disc. Nothing too dramatic on the chromosphere, however, there are some nice proms and filaproms on view.
2) Next is a nice horseshoe shaped prominence (I probably wouldn’t have given this a second glance had the surface been more active but it was nice change of pace to capture something like this).
3) More filaments in the Southern Hemisphere which reminded me of tiger stripes. First glimpse of the prominence on the South West limb too. AR13071 is visible to the West (right) located S13W36. This is a single sunspot spot region classified HSX and reducing in size. This region has not produced a single flare yet. To the far left (S18E01) we have AR13074. Like AR13071 this is a single spot as well as being classified the same (HSX) but slightly larger in area. This region got active on 8th August producing two small B class flares. Between the two is AR13077. Classified CSO this is located S13W24 and is growing in size and sunspots, having increased from 4 to 6 spots overnight. This region has yet to produce any flares.
4) Same image as above but at higher magnification.
5) Heading up North we have AR13075 and AR13076. The former has no major features whereas AR13076 has a single spot. By far the largest active region visible on the solar disc it too is classified HSX and is located N12E20. It has produced a single B class flare earlier this morning. Visible on the limb is a small prominence and filaprom.
6) Lastly we have the large prominence on the South West limb and the time lapse video.
