Filaprom & Disc | HA | June 16th 2020

[MalVeauX]

Hey all,

It's been a hot minute that I've seen the sky after these past two tropical storms here in Florida. Gonna be a nasty hurricane season I wager. By chance, I went out this afternoon between clouds and showers and was able to take a look at the filaprom near the southern limb. I completely missed out on the last sunspot in the AR that rounded the limb due to weather... that's over 12 days that I've not seen anything. Horrible weather. Anyhow, seeing was not great, this is the worst time of day for me. I measured seeing and it indeed was bad. But, lucky imaging prevails and I was able to at least use the 120mm and got some lucky frames of the filaprom.

Lovely shots! Shame I missed it but mostly cloudy here too.

Amazing! cant say I have seen one that wasn't off the edge of the limb only, this looks three dimensional.

Superb images as always Marty - filaprom was relatively small but you’ve brought out amazing detail

[MarkAR]

Stunning, probably the first prom images I can see some real depth to. Makes me realise how massive these are.
