Description

This large prominence on the south west limb of the sun was a very active one, imaged today as it slowly rotated away from us it was clearly interacting with a neighboring prominence .
 This timelapse is sped up from a hour or so of data gathering to a few seconds. The Sun is always moving and changing which makes it a fascinating target to image an observe.
Imaged from my Ottawa backyard May 19th 2024 with a Quarks Chromosphere solar filter, the Starfield optic 102ED and the ASI 174MM Camera with solar PHD guiding.
