Animations: M-class flare and prominences

[GreatAttractor]

This season started for me almost a month later than it did last year, but equally well. Great seeing on Saturday (so, a 6-hour session) and quite good on Sunday.

Everything captured with a 90 mm refractor + pressure-tuned etalon, PGR Chameleon 3 mono (ICX445), processed with Stackistry and ImPPG. 30-second intervals in time-lapses.

Class M5.3 flare in AR 2644 (maximum at 4/02 8:04 UTC), 0:46 h total:

Solar event list and descriptions can be found at http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/solar-and-geophysical-event-reports.

Smoky prominences, 0:53 h total:

Active Region 2645, chromo- to photosphere transition, made by gradually lowering the etalon pressure:

Pretty but rather minor activity in AR 2645, including penumbral waves, 1:42 h total (click to view, takes a while to load):

Did you actually image that second video? Mind blowing stuff that!

[GreatAttractor]

Thanks. Of course, everything is captured and processed by me unless noted otherwise

Back with a tour de force, you chose the right time to restart, you haven't missed much up 'till now.
