Chasing clouds again this morning.
I thought I might get a bit of a gap so I tried for an animation of the massive prominence on the SE limb.
I managed 50 minutes but it is badly affected by cloud to start with.
None the less it shows some nice evolution over a very short period.
I think it is dissipating and maybe gone tomorrow.
I snapped an update on AR 3643 and group as well.
Kit was my Lunt 100 DS with a ZWO 432mm at F35.

Mesmerising animation - watching the movements of streams in the proms....


Call me Geoff.

I do what I do because I want to, and because I can....

Doesn't mean I know what I'm doing, though!
