Hi All !
After weeks ? of cloud and grey and rain, the sun appeared with less humid air and little wind ! I set up my 70mm refractor with the aim of trying some quick eyepiece photographer with a phone camera. I wasted alot of time and could not focus at all throught the 40mm eyepiece. Anyhow, the weather held up and I pointed my ASI 174mm camera and got some imaging up to 30 to 40 minutes before the clouds came and the sun dipped below the garage next door.
I recorded 74.5 GB of files and got about 80 to 90 frames for possible prom animation. I mainly got the prom on the South Western limb (on the bottom right on the GONG images site). There is some cloud lurking around the sun, so was surprised I could get so much time and relatively unimpeded imaging and the sun even stayed in the same place for the duration of the imaging!
Here is a quick process, no tilt adapter used, Quark inserted into diagonal.
ERF: 2 inch uv/ir cut filter only.
ED70 refractor
Quark chromosphere eyepiece.
Manual focusing
Time about 11.00 hours to 11.40 hours. SIngle video file processed with flats applied.

I wondered if anyone would capture that towering prom next to the prom that Peter did such a great animation on. Nice catch!

Thanks Maurits and Warren. and Starhugger,
I hope to process all the images of the proms (which was high gain and only that of the proms) later this week hopefully, and see if an animation of that massive tower prom comes out !
