Description

50-minute animation of a solar prom on the sun's southwestern limb

Specs: extracted 15% of best 1000 frame video from each of 20 videos spanning 50 minutes; final images aligned and run through animation processing using PIPP.  

Tracked this amazing prominence for about an hour.  When I saw the initial prom suspended above the solar limb,  I knew this would not last. So I set up a  time series.
This image features the southwestern limb and an amazing prominence. Surface includes filaments and sunspots surrounding AR 3607 and 3618. 

The web link to my site has a color version of the prom.
