Sunday on a Monday - 2 May 2011

Hello all

Taking advantage of the long weekend I stepped out to do some morning imaging (I got away with this as I promised and have installed some curtain rods for her indoors!)

The conditions were OK and I noticed a small brightening on the western limb as I was imaging the large 7 shaped filament. The 5 images were taken over a 35 minute period from 9.30am Brisbane time - quite exciting as I was hoping for something big.....but I got a little pop!

Image 2 is of the large backwards 7 prominence and image 3 of the newish active region 1203.

Hope you enjoy!

Nice work Matt, the sequence of images looks a likely candidate for an animation.
Nice depth of detail across all of the images and the backward 7 certainly looks intriguing.

Cheers
Trevor
