Western Limb Prom Animation 3/20/2023

rigel123 · Post by **rigel123** » Mon Mar 20, 2023 7:11 pm

Good to be home, with a clear sky and no clouds and decent seeing! As soon as I got the sun in the FOV I noticed the great proms on the Western Limb and ended up capturing 75 minutes before seeing really went downhill. Some wonderful action in both proms with a fairly eruptive event in the prom on the left. Image has been rotated 90 degrees CCW for viewing. Lunt LS60T DS/ASI174MM/Meade 3X TeleXtender

Warren,
Though I forgot to include it in my post I did see this prominence today on the western limb. I did notice that it was largely detached from the disc and I could see some striations within it. Overall the prom was quite faint in doublestack.

Your animations are stunning. Look at the coronal rain!!

Two thumbs up!!

James.

Warren,
Did you image AR13258 today? It had a bright beautiful cracked etched pattern, no doubt caused by flaring. It was the most noticeable thing on the disc at the time I observed. Around 15:30 UTC.

Yes, but no animation. I’ll get to those images tomorrow and I did notice a long, flaring area.

This is one of the most complex, dynamic prominences I have seen. The eruptive up flow of bright plasma is spectacular. Well captured Warren. Bravo!

Warren,
What time did you image on Monday?

Thanks Jim! I should have included the link to the Astrobin post as the resolution looks better to me than the Flickr link.

I do follow your Astrobin web page, agree, resolution and dynamic range are better at Astrobin. Good stuff.

The Astrobin link does show better detail, especially in the plasma rain.
