Hey guys!,

I now its not SDO but I think that this little girl at my outreach event at

Dragon*Con this weekend was the only person on Earth to have caught the

entire length of the ejected filament on Friday. I saw it going off so I

sat her down at the ASTRO IIDC equipped computers and helped her film the

whole thing

It was much brighter in CaK (393nm) than H-Alpha (656nm). I

also believe she is the only amateur to have ever captured a filament in

CaK, IT GOT REALLY BRIGHT in CaK just before it lifted off. Not bad for a

10 year old on her first try, eh? Now, if this doesnt show the effect

ASTRO IIDC has had on solar outreach in a positive light, I dont know what

does

J You can see her in the images below using the false color preview

that Milton put in the program just for outreach work. Milton, thank you so

much for helping me to expose over a quarter million people directly to the

Sun in all its glory through your software. Im on to the next ¼ million

now

Thought you might like to see the images..

Here is a link to her raw data videos of the entore event. You can actually

see it moving off the edge of the Sun in 2 wavelengths
