Sun on 7th Jan

[John W]

SW sector of the Sun showed some nice prominences today. No sunspots and no large flares. This single exposure image was taken thru a Lunt 100 Ha scope with a Canon 550d camera. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks for sharing your image John,
May I ask:
- what were the settings on your Canon?
- Did you stack and process a number of images ?
Thanks
Graeme:)

That's a really sharp crisp image on those prominences John. Congratulations.

Graeme,
This is a single frame - no stacking. 1/80 sec x 800 iso, f5.6. Processed in iPhoto and GIMP. Cheers, John W.

Good catch of the impressive prom John.
