Magnetic Activity and Filament, 25 April 2010

[Matt Wastell (Matt)]

Hi

I was able to get in some imaging today after a two week break - yeah!

The first is a region of significant magnetic activity (not a numbered region due to the lack of visible sunspots) and the second is a filament that a few days ago was a nice prominence on the SE limb - I think the one Dave imaged recently.

Lunt 60, DMK31 and Registax5 - inverted too.

Thanks for looking.

Nice pics, Matt - I just came in from admiring these two features!

Because of its curvature and proximity to the limb, that filament has a lovely 3D quality to it. Meanwhile the unnumbered active area is still enormous, with lots of tiny detail around what looks like a great rent in the solar surface: you've captured it well. The increasingly bright part at one end may even be developing into a focus of the activity.

Thanks for the view Matt.

Good captures, particularly like the filament. Heavy cloud here.

Great detail as usual Matt, glad the wx finally broke for you. yeah thinks thats the flat prom I got a couple a days ago, its really standing out as a fil

Thanks for the kind words - here are todays versions of the same areas.
I have included yesterday's images for comparison of the changes. Hope you enjoy!

That really interesting Matt,

To see the morphology of the features change over 24 hrs is excellent

Thanks for that.
Regards

Agree Trevor you can see how the fill has been pulled in image 4 - good set Matt
