Lucky star - Sun in H-a, 30/11/2013

[Luke]

I wasn't supposed to be taking any images on Saturday morning, as we had guests arriving. But they were a little delayed, so I popped out and managed just a rushed single movie before the clouds came in and I had to pack away.

I had no idea if there were any nice proms about. I later saw a post by Michael about a monster prom! And later I saw Alexandra's awesome shots.

I felt quite emotional when I saw the stack. This definitely counts as a big prom for me   Hope to try a few other processes on this over the next few days!

Glad to see someone captured that spectacular prom. Well done. I managed to see it yesterday, but the skies closed before I could get the imaging kit out.

Very nice Luke, less is deffinatley more in this case, great shot.

Perhaps this is what did for comet Ison? That is one big prom, well caught.

Fantastic shot!! I reckon this was taken around 10;30-11 UT? just during the major outburst. I caught the last of it at 11:30 - 12:10 UT.

Thanks, folks

Robin, I get the sense that the Sun did not like all the fuss over the comet of the century and wanted to remind everyone who's boss   Shame we're not going to get that spectacle after all though.

Alexandra, good guess! According to my atomic clock, it was 10:52. And according to the same clock, the clouds arrived at 10:54
