Northern Prom 04-11-22 H alpha

Post by Martin_S »

Today was a shocker in Brisbane High winds and turbulence, about 6 to 7 on the Beaufort Scale. So I set up my 60mm frac with the combo Quark to do a full disk mosaic. I did the mosaic ok , then a 25 min animation of a large prom. I then set up the 120 frac to capture the prom at 30 second intervals as it was showing a lot of activity, I managed to get seven minutes worth of captures before the wind got so bad that the telescope would not track.
The weather beat me today but I'm happy with my results.

Fantastic animation, bravo. :bow


I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.

Wonderful animations Martin, you caught part of the liftoff of that big prom in the NE! Of course that now leaves little to look at on the limb and I saw on Gong the liftoff of the big sail filament that was in the southern hemisphere.
