September 8th - H Alpha

Some reasonable views mid morning as cloud shifted.  There were some prominences along the E limb, but nothing significant.  The long filament, now heading away toward the W limb, has a nice oval structure in the middle with spiky bits coming off.  Single frame taken with Lunt 60 DS and Olympus E-M10 at 500 asa.  Taken at 10.53 am on 1/100 sec.

Brilliant, haven't seen the sun in a while (images), nice to see some activity.

Fine disc Paul, that huge filament is stealing the show in H/A.

Very nice Paul I think your single frame looks better than my best 10% of 2000 ATM

 The detail was almost 3D today. Great seeing and you managed to capture it!

Hoping that the big filament keeps going when it hits the edge!

thanks for posting.

Many thanks for all your comments.  The long filament is indeed stealing the show Pete, it would look a bit bland without it wouldn't it.  As you mention Paul, I have my fingers crossed that we may have some nice prominences and/or filaproms when it hits the W limb.
