The bridge in 11289 shows up really well in the C11 image, quite an intricate structure. That long, looping prominence in the Sept 16 23:43 UT images is awesome.

Thanks Dennis, you are very kind. The 2.5x Powermate does seem to push the little SM40 a bit but its still only f/18.75... not quite up there with the f/25 to f/38s of a lot of planetary imagers. But then again I suppose seeing is generally worse during the day too.

Thanks for the views - I have not been out lately and today looks quite hazy here in Brisbane!
The departing AR 1289 looks very impressive!
Shame its not clear, Matt. Its another glorious day here (still a bit windy though). I'd like to do it all again, but I have some other commitments that have to happen today unfortunately.

Al.
