Animation of prominences over 3½ hours

[lukebl]

Hi folks.

This is a painstaking animation from 20 videos captured every 10 minutes (about 3½ hours) with a PST Coronado this afternoon, 2x TAL Barlow, ASI290MM Mini cam. Each video was consisted of 500 frames. The prominences were 2.25ms exposures at 64 fps. The sun's surface was a single capture of 500 frames at an exposure of 0.22ms. Stacked in Registax 5, and processed in Photoshop.

Obviously, in reality the sun's surface should have been animated too, but I sadly didn't have the patience to do an additional 20 videos of the surface on top of the prominence ones. That's for another day when there's a completely clear sky, uninterrupted by passing clouds. However, I'm reasonably pleased with the result.

I'm really looking forward to a biggie, like this legendary one in 1946!

Excellent Luke, can't remember the last time I did a solar animation.
