July 16 2022 Imaging. Large SW Prom!

[DeepSolar64]

My session time was from 17:00 to 18:00 UTC. Intermittent. Considerable cloudiness with all images done through varying amounts of cloud cover. The seeing was below average and the temperature was 82F ( 27.7C )

The equipment used are the Coronado SolarMax II 90 in both single and double stack and the Celestron C102 using the Altair wedge and 540nm Baader filter. Today I used the MacBook Pro running Astro IIDC for image acquisition and GIMP for processing and editing. The camera used was the Point Grey Grasshopper.

I used my mediocre images done in Ha to demonstrate the changes in the prominence on the SW limb during the time I observed.

I'll also include a few professional images to identify features on the disc in absence of my detailed visual observations.

A nice collection of images there James! Sun has risen here now (still below local horizon) so going to get out soon and see how this prom has evolved.

A nice series of images, James.

Thanks Mark and Stu. Mark, Keep us posted on the prom's status. It'll be hours, weather permitting until I can check it out.

Thanks for sharing the report James, very nice WL images.

[ffellah]

A beautiful set of images, James: love the prominence evolution set with the different coloring. The white light came out very well too. Keep those images coming !

Nice set James! Back from vacation and of course first day back and socked in with clouds! Itching to get back to imaging!

[torsinadoc]

Nice images. Thanks for sharing

[DeepSolar64]

Thanks and welcomes everyone. I noticed after processing that the images show the progression of the prominence well during the time I observed so I used them to portray that. It’s not as good as an animation but it works!

The prominence evolution series is really fun - more so than a traditional animation b/c of the colour changes - you should do more of those!

[Martin_S]

Nice presentation James, thanks for sharing your images.

[DeepSolar64]

Vin,
The idea of a side by side combined image of the prominence evolution was a last minute idea. I would have probably colored them all the same, or close to it or have left them all in monochrome if I would have planned this right off. But the different colors does make it " artsy " doesn't it?

Thanks Martin and you are welcome.

That's a great set there. Thanks for posting James.

[DeepSolar64]

Thanks and welcomes Freddie. I am glad you liked them.

I think the different colours is definitely better - not only wrt the aesthetics but also b/c I think it makes you pay more attention to each image in the set and so then you notice the subtle changes between them more.

Hmm...Cool I never thought of that...
