[JamieW]

Hi all,

despite the gusty winds and frequent clouds my wife Kath and I managed to capture the massive prominence on view today.

Hope you like,

Jamie

Thanks Sheri & Stu.

The best thing is - the view through the eyepiece was way better than the pic!

Hi Jamiew how do you get shots like this what are you using

[JamieW]

@cspindley - I use a Lunt LS60 and a QHY5 mono guidecam which I originally bought to improve my DSO imaging. Unfortunately I am the worst DSO imager ever, so switched to the light side!

I then use PaintShop Pro 7 to add some false colour using tips I found via MarkT's excellent website.

Wow, a fabulous full disc and prom!

Wow that's a biggie!! I reckon Earth would be about 3-4mm in that image and would comfortably fit several times within that loop!

Great result!

Fantastic image, hope you don't mind but is currently my desktop wall paper, almost fits....
