Massive solar prominence...
Decided to image the sun a little after midday...the seeing was guaranteed not be good...but at least it was clear.
I also had not noticed a very faint but very large prom until I processed the data later on...but...aye carrumba!
Without doubt the largest prom I have imaged to date.
the link is here

Well captured Peter. To think of the amount of energy in that prominence - frightening yet a beauty at the same time.

Great Pic that Prom actually lifted up and circled back onto the Disc. Just finished a quick collage.

Cool, although I'm a bit worried that the sun looks like its about to split into several pieces with all those "cracks" on the surface!

I'm not normally a fan of the two colour treatment, but the image is truly spectacular.
Is that a mosaic image? What do you use for joining them?

Sorry guys...I've been out of the IIS loop for a bit due to work and tax returns... but to save bandwidth....thank you all for your kind feedback!
Fact of the matter is, it's not the best solar image from a technical viewpoint, but I suspect the specky-subject-matter provided by old Sol more than makes up for any shortcomings on my part
