Last view of the monster filament - 2/9/14

[DrRobin]

Hi,

I took this image just after 8:00 this morning and within a few hours the large filament had gone.  You can see it has started to thin, resembling a wispy cloud.  There is a nice fine detailed looping prom on the western limb and the two sunspot group in the middle that looks so good in WL looks impressive in Ha.  See Steve's great image http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/224378-sun-in-white-light-2-9-2014-0900-bst/?p=2414028

I have been using 8 bit from this camera as it will download full frames at 60fps, but the following is a 16 bit image (12 bit actually), just to see if there is more detail.  The result is not a lot and I am still thinking it is better for me to get 60fps rather than 30fps in 12 bit.

Superb images as ever, Robin. Nothing to see here, alas, but at least I have seen it "by proxy" today
