Luke Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 This fierce prom did not hang about long! After imaging it, I just caught it in the eyepiece before it started to fade. I was torn between imaging it or viewing it - a nice problem to have... Edit: how amusing - I got the shading on Earth the wrong way around :grin:---13/01/2014SolarMax 60 / Grasshopper 3 (ICX687) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrRobin Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Superb Luke, really nice processing as well, wonderfully smooth gradient. But looks like someone has burning the midnight oil as well, judging by the posting time? I didn't see it at 1:30pm, not sure what time you imaged? Also is that the correct orientation as there was a smaller, but very bright prom there on Saturday?Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ward Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 That was just bad luck on your part Robin , an hour earlier you'd have caught it ... http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/latest/latest_1024_0304.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Smith Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Great shot Luke and the colours look really nice even if they are not what you intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonNut Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thats a great shot, I was vieving at the same time so I know what you mean about it not hanging around! I was showing my images of it to a friend (non-astronomer) and trying to explain how big the Earth is in comparison so now I will show him this trhead...thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Wow! well caught that's spectacular :) very lucky indeed!Alexandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks all Robin, I had a sneaky nap before finishing the image, i.e. I feel asleep while watching TV Maybe I need to go to bed early and get up early and do a bit of processing before work! I'm much more of a morning person. Might give that a go...Ant, I'm very lucky I can do some solar during the week and at home in Winter. I can't wait for Summer - not had much need for the suntan lotion recently MoonNut, glad you caught it! The size of these huge proms never ceases to amaze me and I like that just before you look/image, you don't know what is waiting for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
