[Matt Wastell (Matt)]

Hello IIS
I have not been too active due to other stuff but I was very please to find some time this morning to image - in fact after looking at GONG (Ha site) I had planned to take images every ten minutes of today's massive filament to see the changes over time. Clouds ruined this plan but I was pleased to be out for awhile.
I like filaments and this one must be 200,000 km long (at least?). I hope to image it in a few days when it rounds the limb and becomes a prominence - may even see a lift off!
I also think it is the best image I have so far achieved with my new Lunt80. Image was taken with a 2.5 Powermate, DMK31 (exp 1/45, gamma 42, brightness 61) and processed in Registax (about 120/2500 images at 95%).
Happy Easter to all!
