Post by stef41 »

good morning, everyone,

the sun this day at the fs60 with its sm40 double stack, BF10 and zwo178mm on staradventurer around 12:15 UT

not a lot of activity... but I did frame on the left prominence anyway to make a little animation:

77 movies every 30 seconds between 12:18 and 1:09 p.m. UT.
Gif at 10 fps

Sincerely,
stéphane

Hi Stéphane,

Very good images and animation. I somehow have the feeling you are a bit off band but can not tell you to which side ¿ blue side ?

I love the animation. I thought that little prom looked a lot like a thunderstorm with it's top trailing away.

Hi Stéphane,
Considering the Sun is relatively quiet compared to recent days, you have well-capture and animated the occasion.

Thanks vm
Terry
