Writhing Prominence

[cshahar]

Hi Everyone:

I was concentrating on creating an animation of a sunspot region, but got an added bonus of a prominence. Not a large one, but I like the writhing motion here.

It was a tough outing yesterday: poor seeing (2/5), newton rings (which I eventually solved using PS), the tip of a tripod leg broke off, the tracking was poor. But at least I got something out of it!

Do you like the surface detail or does it distract from the prominence?

Thanks!

Very impressive. What kind of setup do you use? In terms of filters and cameras.

Lovely animation Charles, thanks for posting.

I find surface detail fascinating too so I personally like both. I guess you could try overlaying a transparent bit of a disc over the surface or something like that if you want to put a bit more emphasis on the prom, the sufrace is drawing my eye a bit with its brightness and contrast but it's fine for me personally, lovely to see the motion.

I hope your next outing is a little less evenful!   I guess we all have a session like that where everything goes wrong. Usually when there is only a small gap and precious little recovery time
