Details:
I got to see the last ejecta from sunspot AR2665 this morning, first of all there was nothing at all on the solar limb but the bulge from the sunspot, and I thought I had missed it, but then a tiny piece of material broke away. All of a sudden a very long prominence ejected away from the Sun…it was very thin and wavy, it did not last for long and then just disappeared into nothingness….
There were also other active prominences around the western limb not that far away from the material coming away from AR2665. I’m so glad that I took the time to look this morning, as I thought all the action would have been over with while I was asleep :-)
This is a composite of two images taken with a Lunt 80mm solar telescope and a Canon 70D camera with a 5x Barlow lens, one image to capture the faint prominences and the other image to capture the solar disc.
