charcoal Large prominence on southeastern limb of the H alpha sun

[acr_astro]

Dear all,

today morning I had a look at the GONG network images on the internet and set up my telescope to have a look at that awesome large prominence on the southeastern limb of our home star. First I concentrated on a sketch of just that wonderful prominence. After that, I created - as usual - a sketch of the full solar disc. I noticed that the prominence already had changed during my sketching time.

Nice sketch, thanks for that, hadn't got around to looking this morning, clouds gradually clearing so will get setup shortly.

Hi Achem,

Sorry I've been a bit slow in checking on here. I love the close-up detail sketch of the flare coming away from the side. Brilliantly done.

What kind of paper are you using? I want to try a new kind of paper myself this one looks rough, I like that. Can it be used with graphite pencils do you think ?
