Description

Does anyone know what could possibly cause this anomaly? I have isolated a section of my earlier video. Something has a dark almost spherical effect to this large prominence as it lifts at about 44,000 km/hour. It was also caught on the GONG Cerro Tololo Chile Ha telescope. I was using my Coronado SM90 as single stacked on this occasion with DMK21 mono camera at 30 fps and shooting 300 frame sets every 4-minutes. The images are date and time stamped at the start of every video sequencing run.
