Details:
Captured on March 17, 2021, from Dark Sky® Alqueva region, Portugal, with a Solar Ha telescope – at the wavelength of Hydrogen-Alpha, the high-resolution footage features a gigantic solar prominence visible in great detail around the sun´s limb due to an exceptional seeing conditions. The time lapse sequence of close-up captures were taken between UT 12h02 and UT 14h57 (Universal Time) to help reveal very interesting changes in shape, intensity and detail, with spicules and supergranulation in motion on the sun´s surface. The video also highlights in slow motion a spectacular fast eruptive prominence visible in the upper right edge. The time lapse comprises 162 shots processed, each one as result of a stack of the best 250 frames from each raw video. The final result is a 2K high resolution time lapse movie comprising 2h55 of images.
