Well this is the biggest prom I have imaged on the limb of Sol.
Also happy with a flat field technique to remove the bands. It brings out the spicules really well. Maybe not to everyones taste, but I like the look of this image.
yep you have got a fine image there, it seems to have a loop at the base... i could be wrong here but a lot of that activity is to do with magnetic fields and the looping is something to do with that ( feel free to explain... i think with your gear you are going to be the one to know)
Alchemy you are right about the magnetic fields. Loops are caused by positively charged plasma moving toward negatively charged plasma. This loop developed over the course of a couple of hours. Sometimes the interaction is more energetic because two sunspots will be present.
Leon the really interesting thing is that this prom is probably about 2.5 earths high and about 4-5 earths wide. That really gives a sense of perspective.
sorry the pun, very nice indeed, it gives a real prospective of how small we really are here on our little Planet, top shot.
