There has been a magnificent prom the previous two day.  Mike nor I could image due to our weather and we were disappointed that we didn't catch the prom.  Today my sky wasn't too bad but the wind is high.  i gave it a go anyway.  The big prom is gone and there is an interesting looking one but I will have to see if I got a good capture on this one.  The sunspot activity had lessened also but I made a few videos.

AR2422 -



Here is a shot of the strange prom.  I needed to use my DMK-21 for the higher frame rate due to the shaking from the wind and haze in the sky.  -



AR2428 at the limb I believe -



Again with the DMK-21 and 2.5 Powermate -


One more in mono.  More detail in the prom.  This is all I could get out of the sun today with the conditions.  I would have had this much without the DMK-21's frame rate.  Of course the trade-off is resolution. -

What amazing images you were able to capture! People have so much to learn about the sun and solar telescopes can help.

Thank you for the comment. :-) It is fascinating to be able to see and image our star. It certainly can be frustrating at times when the conditions aren't good. Mike and I would love to have bigger, better solar scopes but for the cost of those, our home brewed scopes will have to do. ;-) As with all other astronomical viewing, you can see more with the camera then with your eye. Thank you again.
