AR2736 throwing filaproms at the limb | HA | March 24th 2019

Post by MalVeauX »

Heya,

Woke up to clouds, but then around 11am it started to break up and cleared up, seeing was not great, so I lowered my imaging scales. Managed to image in 3 scales to tempt the seeing and slowly creep up, from 60mm to 80mm then 150mm. Then the seeing fell apart, 200mm wasn't an option this afternoon. Wonderful to see a limb spot throw filaments up and out as prominences, my favorite are limb spots! Full disc with 60mm. Next step up was 80mm. Largest was 150mm.

Great set of images, Marty. Glad you caught it on the limb. I missed this one.

These are cracking Marty, I love limb shots of active regions too :bow :hamster: it is so much easier to see the activity.
