July 26th - Fabulous Filament - Pleasing Prominences

[paulastro]

I had a few brief views of the sun this morning, mostly heavy cloud.  The large filament in the E is more impressive today and there were some very nice prominences on the NW limb, plus another couple further to the S.  Single frames with Lunt 60 DS and Olympus E-M10 at 500 asa, first image taken at 12.42 pm on 1/80 sec and second at 11.12 am on 1/20 sec.

Very nice images. Paul. No views of the sun here for almost a week.

Still impressive Paul. The proms are always a delight to see!

Fine looking filament might be I while before we see it again.

Many thanks for all your kind comments.  I hope for those that have been unlucky weather wise recently that you have some clear skies soon to view the filament.
