May 6th - H Alpha - Figure of Eight

[paulastro]

After lunch the cloud and haze thinned enough to make it worthwhile making a quick visual observation in HA.  Though rather dull, there were some fine filaments in the NE quadrant including what looks like a very large figure of eight.  I took a few quick frames with the Lunt 60mm DS and Olympus E-M10.  The frame below was taken at 2.29pm,  1/15 sec at 500 asa.

Cheers Paul

I look for your images first on SGL as they are great to check what was there vs what I thought I could see!
