Solar Activity 20 Mar (part 2)

[brianb]

(continued from part 1)

The north of the disc has fewer filaments than has been usual over the last few days, but still quite a few:

2010 Mar 20, 1133 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/8, DMK41.

The huge prominence on the NW limb has gone, but its roots remain and appears to be still evolving:

2010 Mar 20, 1136 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/24, DMK21.

2010 Mar 20, 1505 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/32, DMK21.

There is also a notable quiescent prominence slowly growing on the SE limb:

2010 Mar 20, 1137 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/24, DMK21

2010 Mar 20, 1502 UT. Solarscope 60 @ f/32, DMK21

And here's the CaK overview:

2010 Mar 20, 1142 UT. Coronado PST CaK @ f/10, DMK41

Transparency initially poor, improving to good then very good in the afternoon. Seeing above average. Temp 11C, wind NW force 3.

Gorgeous images Brian! Just had first light on a Lunt 60 yesterday and saw exactly what you imaged! Incredible work on those. The process is very good.
