Quick glance at a nice prominence in H alpha

[acr_astro]

Hi all,

 

today I could just have some quick glances at our home star trough small gaps in the clouds. There was a nice prominence which was already lifted off from the solar "surface". So I gave it a try with a quick pastel sketch. Unfortunately the clouds won and I had to do the sketch in a bit of a hurry. Anyway, I'll sharing it here with you...

 

 

Telescope: Lunt LS50 THa B600 PT

Eyepiece: TS HR Planetary 5mm

Location: home terrace, Dusseldorf region, Germany

Hope you like it!

Nice sketch. Spotted two big proms just now: One detached one to the south and a brighter one more westerly. Give the orientation I assume this was the westerly one
