Details:
I was very excited to see a beautiful spouting prominence on the eastern edge of the Sun this morning that looked quite spectacular, there was also some of that giant cloud of plasma still ejecting out into space from the western limb.
It was very hard to capture and process the faint detail of the prominence on the western limb so I’ve coloured the outer edge to show the very faint wispy detail :-)
The view through the 127mm refractor was also a lovely sight; with the large sunspot AR2628 quite dark on the solar surface AR 2627 is still quite faint…
The H-alpha images were taken with my Lunt 60mm solar telescope and a Canon 700D camera with a 2x Barlow lens, exposures for solar disc were 1/200th second and ISO200. The settings for the prominences were exposures 1/15th second and ISO400, the images were combined and processed in PS CS4.
