Filament still there.

As of 2.30-3pm anyway.Snapped a few avis in a quick session. The close ups are the more visible sections using a 1.6ext+5xPowermate and the Lunt 100.It seems to be constantly breaking up and reforming.

Wow I love the 5th image, looks like a giant sink hole!

Derek,
fantastic images!
Well done.
You should consider a series in the blue and red wing to clearly show the movements within the filament.
(Some of these filaments can survive for almost a whole solar rotation!)

Great capture Derek. The filament appears to hover in places. I noted it was very three dimensional when viewing it through the eyepiece the other day.

Thanks for the update Derek!

Speaking of 3D Paul I took the .5A unit off the Daystar 60mm. Removed the B1800 blocking filter on the Lunt100 and replaced it with the Daystar unit. Although I have touble imaging with this setup the visual using a 56mm Plossl is astounding.It is safe as the Lunt provides the Erf in the setup and the Daystar unit is complete with UV/IR block.Essentially you are at F28 .3D you bet.

Looks good Derek, even got a quick shot myself.

Hi Derek,
Great set showing how this filament has been evolving. The 3rd and 5th images are my favorites.

Thanks for posting,
