Cak and H alpha 12-09-2021

Post by Martin_S »

The ever changing appearance of the Sun never ceases to amaze me.

Here are my best captures taken this morning on a windy day on Brisbane's Bayside.

I couldn't resist doing a 90 minute animation of this magnificent prominence on the north eastern side of the sun.

Great images and animation, Martin. Interesting to see the huge prom ‘dissolving’ away.
