Solar proms Mar 7
March 7th. A nice set of prominences on the Sun this morning. This single exposure pic was taken thru a SMII60 mm scope with a Canon 550d.
Thanks for viewing.

You got a good display of proms there, did you use a Barlow or similar to get that magnification of detail, or is it just cropped down a lot? I haven't tried using my Nikon D800 yet as I thought the image size would be too small on the big sensor.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for comments. This was taken thru the eyepiece with camera attached. No cropping. Cheers, John W.

Oh, what eyepiece? I haven't really tried doing that.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for reply. I use a Hyperion wide angle 17 mm eyepiece. Camera attaches directly on it. Cheers, John W.
