23-VIII-19 - Prominences

[Rob Sellent]

The Sun is putting on quite a display this morning. There are a number of active prominences on the lower half of the Sun - as seen through an Ha 60mm -  and two relatively large proms around 6pm, one of which appears to be reaching out to some 150,000km

Well worth a visit if you get a chance

Thanks Rob I will get out the PST +DS and hopefully the Sun will stay out.

After the solar umdrums of the past few days/weeks, it's nice to see a little bit more activity

I have high cloud at the moment which is not giving a good view of the Sun. Interesting to see the image from Learmouth, Australia on GONG.

I was testing out an SME60 II combo on the ED80 with the ASI 174 managed to catch the large prom group between clouds...

i’ll get onto the computer later and upload on of the images.

Look forward to that, Merlin. I really should have sketched the Sun today but by 10am I was already sweating and dripping wet under the solar-hood 😅

Total cloud cover here unfortunately!

Winter here in Oz, cold wet and windy.....

Some clear gaps in the clouds at last!. Just in time to catch a globe of material, probably the size of the Moon, rising amongst the fainter image of the brighter of the two proms. Best proms for a while. 150mm PST mod x150.   😎
