Large Prom 16/12/2022

[George Ionas]

I took this image of a large solar prominence on late Friday afternoon. I was hindered by clouds but was able to get a 1-2 minutes clear patch of sky. The seeing was not that great in fact it was poor.



Taken with the Tak FS-60C double stacked with SM60s Coronado Etalons, 1.7x Tak module, Tel Vue 2x Powermate, BF30 and ZWO ASI174 camera.

Yikes. That's huge.

How many earths can fit along it? 8? 10? :eyepop:

[George Ionas]

I think that you are about right on the number of Earths that can fit along the prominence.
