Filament development - alternative view

Post by AndrevdHoeven »

This image is an experiment I did using data from the GONG h-alpha network.

I wanted to show the development of some solar filaments that I also imaged myself in July last year and that showed a very nice development in the days they were visible.

I gathered data from the period from 4th of July until 16th of July with 2 day intervals from the GONG network and processed them in such way that I overlayed the images showing the filaments as they rotated with the sun during this period.

Clearly can be seen how the filament changed on the southern hemisphere and you can even see it as a prominence when it rotated away from Earth. On the northern hemisphere there was a large filament that ruptured during this period and lifted off, which can be seen as it suddenly dissappeared.
I like the result and it gives a nice idea of the activity of the sun in this period.

Credit: GONG data were acquired by instruments operated by NISP/NSO/AURA/NSF with contribution from NOAA.

That is a really good image example to show the orientation of active region filaments vs polar crown filaments, I'm wondering if you could submit that as an image in the January challenge above?

I'm not sure I like the colour though ;)

This is great. It shows very nicely the evolution of various solar features. I really like how you’ve blended the sequence of disks over time into one ‘master’ disk.
