Details:
There was this amazing fiery prominence on the western limb on the Sun today close to the area of where AR2365 rotated out of view.
I was so excited to see such a huge prominence that I ran as fast as I could to grab my camera. I began to take images at 11.20am (AEST) and by 11.45am it had completely disappeared into space…it was just awesome!!!
I used a Canon 700D camera and a Lunt 80mm solar telescope with a 2x and a 3x barlow lens attached. The colour image is a composite, one set of images for the disc and one set for the faint prominences, which needs a longer exposure to capture; images were then combined in PS CS4.
The monochrome image is a single image of 20 images stacked in Registack6 and lightly processed in PS CS4 :-)
