Hello guys,

I'm sick at home, but that didn't keep me from peeking at the sun. I noticed that there was this monster prom going on and so I gave it a try although it was a bit too windy and the seeing was truly bad. I selected manually the best 106 frames out of 1500 (terrible job sad ) and here are the results. I post two version: one is the traditional way of processing proms (at least mine) the other is its negative image (without the masking of the disk because unnecessary).
The time of this image is UTC 12:29 so less than 5 hrs ago at the time of this post grin

Which one do you prefer? I still prefer the "standard" B&W appearance, but that's me.

Ciao all

Luca

PS sorry guys for flooding the forum with sun images, but this is, after all the solar system forum and these are shots of the BOSS itself!

I thought that this would have been a nice view even if it is not hi-res.

Ciao guys
