February 9, 2021 Strange prom

Post by Astrophil »

Hi All,

Yesterday's prom grew some and looks like a strange creature walking on the Sun. Maybe its just me or the heat is getting to me here.
Taken with the LS80 DS, Grasshopper 2, and Powermate 5x.

That's a cracking shot Phil! Can't beat a bit of pareidolia! Looks like something off Lord of the Rings to me...

Great shot, Phil.

With a bit of imagination, you can definitely see a face and long nose in there :)

I agree with previous comments Phil. A "Sunny Creature" is certainly shown in your excellent shot + the other proms too.

Well done and thanks vm
