Beautiful... as usual!


I feel a bit of  envy because i started a temporized grabbing of that prominence in order to make a movie but after ten minutes the worm of my mount gripped into the worm case and the whole mechanism blocked hardly.


ufff...



Thank for sharing

Oggetto: [Astro_IIDC] a BIG one



Hi all,


I heard stories this morning of a big prominence so stayed home from work to take a look. It was a whopper:

Image capture, frame selection and stacking with Astro IIDC. Final processing in Astro IIDC and Adobe Photoshop CS3.

The sun seems to be waking up slowly but surely... I hope some of you were able to see it too.


sunny skies,

Alan
