Faint prominence

Hello guys,

eventually I found some time to go back to some old avis I took some time ago. This attached is a prominence I already filmed and posted, but I like this shot better as it highlights what I liked mostly about this prominence, i.e its faintness, ghostly appearance.

Love sun imaging 8)

Ciao guys

PS still fighting with Photoshop and I haven't yet found a way to soften the border of the black disk. I hope to get it soon :C

This one is from the latest batch and not at all faint. It appeared in fact a raging inferno 8) 8) 8)
I know: it's a bit overprocessed, but I wanted to extract all I could from the red channel.The sky turned out a bit reddish, but I think it was worthy.

This image was obtained by filming in 16 bit and then exporting directly into FITS files ready to be processed into Iris: It sure speeds up the processing routine grin

Data are the same of the previously posted image, except for the fact that it is 500/1500 frames stacked in Iris and processed in Photoshop.

As usual your comments are precious and well appreciated grin

Ciao guys
