Sun in Ha – 29 March 2015

Today was another Lucky day with a few hours of clear sky between the clouds.

Seeing wasn’t as good as yesterday, but there was some great activity on the sun. A big loop prominence originating from AR 2303 for and another large prominence on the other side of the sun. It was an impressive sight!

SW Esprit 120 + Quark Chromosphere + QHY5L-IIc + TS 0,5 focal reducer.

First, the impressive loop prominence. I had to push up the gain quite high to catch it, as it was rather faint. So had to darken out the surface to highlight this fantastic prominence.

 

And here with surface detail.

 

Later I recorded the same area again, with more fantastic prominence activity from AR2303 and 2309. First the inverted filter version. I like this one the best.

 

And the original version with surface detail.

 

And last but not least. The large prominence on the other side of the sun.
