Another Good Ha Solar Imaging Day
Feb 18, 2024 21:46:35 #
Another beautiful day on the eastern slopes of the Rockies.
Used a Sony A7R V camera on a Lunt 60 Ha Solar scope with a 2.5x PowerMate, mounted on an iOptron CEM26 EQ mount.
Shot one session of 8K video and processed for the best single frame using PIPP. Final tweaking in Lightroom and Photoshop.
The Earth is shown on the images for size comparison. The prominences are HUGE!
Enjoy!

Wow...Spectacular shots. As you say the prominences are HUGE and something to behold. I was going to ask where the earth is in the photos...and then looked at the downloads. Thanks for sharing these.

Yup, the Sun is 110x times the diameter of Earth. We're just a small rocky planet.

My hat's off to you, my hands are clapping, and I am cheering because pf your excellent project.
I do have a question. Normally nature does not draw straight lines except when we view certain trajectories under a central force. So, what is the straight streak in your photo? Could it have been a daytime meteor? Or less likely, might it have been a streak on your lens or sensor? Just very curious. ---Richard

I am assuming you're referring to the vertical line right of the sunspot, per below. It is a solar 'filament' and the top view of a prominence.

Hey, thanks for the info. That makes a lot of sense. If we are looking down on a prominence that is fairly narrow, it would appear that way. Nice catch! --Richard
