JULY 25TH - SOME REALLY NICE FILAMENTS ON SHOW.

[paulastro]

Looking at GONG, there are some nice filaments on show, better than I've seen for a while. Alas its currently cloudy here so I've not seen them myself.

Thanks Paul for the 'heads up'. Currently cloudy in Hereford but the forecast shows Sun later. I will have the PST + DS ready.

Thanks.

Do these things move appreciably in say.. a few hours  ??  They look quite dynamic.

Is it worth setting an imaging sequence on them  ??

Paul the Sun is out and I am having a great view using the PST + DS. A lovely waving filament plus lots of plage and other filaments. A few small proms around the edge.

Looks great, cloudy/rainy here too unfortunately.

Have you seen this from Rusted? Amazing!

Doing some full disk imaging through the haze now. Looks amazing!

They do change, but not very fast, perhaps suited to time-lapse rather than an imaging sequence.  I've had a couple of views and I didn't notice much difference.  It does vary though. I would expect to see some noticeable differences by tomorrow.  I suppose the more detail you can get the more subtle changes you will see over a shorter time period.

Just looked on GONG and they are still going strong. Good to see plenty of activity, especially the return of lots of Filaments.

Hi Sean.

Here is a GONG image this morning, and below is the same from yesterday.  You can compare the differences directly..

Thanks Paul,

For such filamentary things, they seem to be quite stable,  especially when compared to  proms which seem to pop up and down and dance around.

I imagine it is a perspective thing and there is a lot of dynamism  if viewed from the side.

It would be interesting to be observing / imaging when one of these does decide to change.
