The Dutch Observatory

Here is the full disk image of the sun today.  The prominance in the animation below is on the SW limb of the sun.  Check how it has developed over the last few days, and a new prominance is coming around the corner on the SE side from the back of the sun.  We’ll keep an eye on that one.

And the prominances today were even taller than yesterday.  I decided to image an 1/2 hour animation of the SW limb.  I had imaged this one for two days, so it is a nice continuation.  It was excrutiating hot.  I felt like I had taken a hot shower with my cloths on and I could not keep the camera in my hand after I finished.  I will finish the rest of the images tonight, but here the 1/2 hour animation of the prominance at the SW limb.  Click the image and give it some time for the animated gif to load.
