26th Oct - Prominence eruption

Post by JohnW »

26th Oct. A prominence erupted today on the Sun's NE limb just before midday in SE Australia (12-40 am UT) - it lasted for only about 15 minutes. I managed to image the eruption - conditions were not the best but it was spectacular. I had to overexpose the surface in order for the eruption to show up. Lunt 100 Ha scope with Canon 550d camera. Single exposures of 1/80 sec.
The last image shows the Sun's southern hemisphere with some sunspots and flares (ARs are numbered).
Thanks for viewing.

Thanks John for including the explosive-activity occurring in the North-East, which should be even as interesting when it if fully into view over the limb.

Thanks for for sharing your excellent images
