Australia day prominences

Mid-week day off here in Australia (got to love it) and not too hot, so the viewing was good enough to try to capture some detail in the big proms. Captured with 4x and 3.5x barlows.

Rotten seeing, with a tree branch wobbling across the view in the wind, but managed to grab a ...

Re: Active region and prominences - 26 April

Thanks all. David, yes these are taken with the LS152 and a 4x Barlow (except the first image, which used a 3.5x Barlow). Not much difference, but the 4x can sometimes pull out a touch more detail if the seeing is good. This scope can pretty much only do high-res imaging due to its sweet spot, but t...
