Details:
This incredible solar filament looked absolutely spectacular on the surface of the Sun today…the science behind it is just amazing!
Images taken with a 80mm Lunt Solar Telescope and a Canon 700D camera with a 2x barlow lens, 30 images stacked in RegiStack6 and processed in PS CS4.
The colour image is the H-alpha colour as seen in the solar scope and is a composite of two images one for the disc and one to show the prominences.
The black and white image is not a composite; I captured it with the same camera but used the Monochrome setting…I find it gives more delicate detail in the prominences.
