A view of the Sun with the Earth for scale...
Fiery prominences composed of huge arcs of plasma dance along the solar limb, while a long, furry filament slithers its way across the 'surface'. The Sun is dynamic and alive, revealing new secrets each time we look at it. 🧵
A memory, distant and worn, of a day on the water long ago.

Which kind of solar image do you prefer?

1. 'Normal' - sunspots appear black and the image is closer to how it is seen through the eyepiece.

2. Inverted - sunspots appear white and the image has a more 3 dimensional feel.
The active region that gave us the stunning aurorae is rotating back around!

Seeing was horrible so I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Looks like there was some dust on my sensor, when will I learn to take flat frames?!
