Description

The Sun in H-alpha on August 4, 2022 featuring a giant prominence.  The full disk image nicely shows the tremendous size (>150,000 km height!) of this amazing prom.  Interesting to see the evolution compared to the previous day:  https://astrob.in/c0lc7e/0/

Imaged with a Lunt LS50Tha (with feathertouch focuser and ZWO EAF), Lunt LS50C compact double stack filter, Coronado Cemax 2x Barlow, ZWO ASI178MM. Imaging train was configured to give ~F/14 (FL=700mm).

Image capture using Firecapture. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 25% of 1000 frames).  Captured separate image exposures for the chromosphere and prominence images.  Processed in ImPPG (sharpening). Combined surface  and prom images using GIMP.  Prom image colorization using Solar Live View.  Additional processing using LuSol-3D.

Note - Thanks to other Astrobin user's, finally tried out the LuSol-3D softare and it is a really nice tool for adding annotations like height circles and Earth images to add some scale to solar images.
