Description

I was imaging AR 2859 on 8/24. The seeing wasn't great, but apparently I caught at least part of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and was able to do this animation. Here is a link to a description of that event (https://www.spaceweather.com/) showing the animation from the Solar Dynamic Observatory.

This is a prime example of how luck plays a key role in our astrophotography. Now all I need is a telescope in space.

Description: I put in an insert taken on 8/23 that clearly shows the solar prom that snapped under the influence of a solar flare to help produce the CME.
