Subtle Filaments - 26th June

This animation spans just 10 minutes and contains 25 frames, but there are some subtle movements going on with this filament.  More obvious is the dancing spicules all over the image jetting up from the chromosphere.  Taken with the 0.2 metre Airylab HaT at a focal length of 5.6m with a PGR Blackfly GigE IMX249 camera.  A double stacked Daystar etalon was used to reduced continuum leakage of the filter.
