Huge solar prominence liftoff from Sun disc

A big quiescent prominence suddenly start to detach from the Sun disc, in few minutes it reach huge dimensions but with lower luminosity, the structure is dissolving with the magnetic lines. I could capture few moments of the event tuning gamma and exposure at each frame to compensate its fast evolution. The transparency was bad, a milky sky, but the seeing was better and let me to take few good frames even if I had to shorten the movies more then usual.

I saw the start of this liftoff on sdo website and decide to set as fast as possible the telescope, if i a checked it only half an hour first i could had follow the event since the start, but it is also true that 20 minutes after I would have seen nothing so I don't complain a lot eheh

Here you can watch at a high resolution mosaic of the prominence. and few other prominence of that day.

There was another huge flare and prom at 2.35 am this morning originating from the new AR on the lower west limb or 8o'clock position as we look at it.. Shame it was dark and I was asleep. I bet someone somewhere had a good view.
