Great 3D look there Gary and the seamless limb makes it look so real.

Hi All,
thank you for the king comments, I am enjoying this steep learning curve that is solar imaging.
No Derek, I didn't see the lift-off unfortunately. There was another yesterday as well, really spectacular, which I shot as well, didn't want to bombard you all with them though. It didn't last too long, by the time I got set up and was imaging it dissolved reasonably quickly.

I never get bored of Solar images!

Which scope is the 60mm filter on?

Stunning

Hi Gary

These new images are deserving of a separate post - they are certainly worth showing off. This was a massive prom/ejection (1/2 solar radius??) and didn't last long at all. They are quite rare at this height I believe.

Solar observing is fascinating isn't it - just when you think you have seen it all - along comes something like this to blow you away. (no pun intended)

I also caught it yesterday visually and with a PST and DMK21 but am having difficulty cleaning the image up enough for posting.

Congratulations
Karen
