Details:
I was very excited to see what sunspot group AR2297 would look like this afternoon as it approached the western limb, but to my surprise all the action was on the opposite side of the Sun!
There was this very large eruption and a couple of smaller ones on the eastern side with a spectacular ejection from the solar limb…it looked wonderful in the eyepiece as it floated off into space…
The Ha colour image is a composite of two images that were combined in PS CS4, one to show the solar disc and the other to show the fainter prominences. There were 30 images each that were stacked in RegiStack6 and transferred to PS.
I used the monochrome setting in the camera for the black and white image and it’s not a composite, just 30 images stacked in Registack6.
Images taken with a 80mm Lunt solar telescope and a Canon 700D camera with a 5x Barlow lens set at all different exposures settings to capture the images :-)
