Solar: Monday 31st May

[TakMan]

Seeing 'Rusted' post earlier today, reminded me I saw something similar when imaging on Monday...

Well, a 'loop' appeared to form around 3.50pm and by 4.25pm it had gone. Brighter areas appeared, but not as dramatic as those in Rusted's post.

This image taken at 4.00pm. Best 100 frames from 3000. Flat calibrated. 0.29"/Pixel

And inverted:

Will add more from the day when I get chance, but we've had a 12 mile walk earlier, so it's time to put the ole feet up and catch up with qualifying for the ADAC Total 24hr race from the Nürburgring Nordschleife!

Clear skies for tomorrow morning although I'm under strict orders that we're out at 11.15 !

Lovely shots Damian. I’ve corrected the title from June to May

[TakMan]

Cheers Stu!

Forgot to add the GONG image for reference, so here it is:

And while we're at it, the next image - those lower filaproms (I think that's the correct term), that looked a bit birds flying across the face of the sun.... or perhaps those porcelain ducks folks stick on their walls !

3.37pm Best 100 of 3000. Flat calibrated.

Inverted:

Hi Damian,

Nice, sharp images.

I ought to try inversion but rarely have.

BTW: I captured the triangular "sails" myself but didn't publish them.
They were certainly an odd shape.
Again, they weren't long lived in their most spectacular form.

It's great to have the sun providing us with so much "entertainment."

Nice! I would say they are filaments as they are fully on the disk. A filaprom is on the limb showing partly as a filament over the disk, and partly as a prominence beyond the limb.

They are lovely shots though, regardless of what they are called. 👍👍

[TakMan]

Yes, you are correct - still lots to learn!

Thanks for the positive image comments as well. 👍

‘Sails’, did I call them that as well on the file I uploaded..? That’s what I called them in the folder the data downloaded to! Looked just like little dinghies out on the sea.

You should post - add ‘em here if you wish, with a time stamp - a useful comparison!
