Fine Prominences! 5th May

prom-colour

Knowing that I was getting away with CaK at 60mm it is reasonable to assume that can get away with Ha at 100mm, as CaK wavelengths have 1.6x the resolution of Ha light.  Lucky imaging was needed to get an image, and a large number of 3000 frame avis were recorded before the best could be processed for this final image.  This image was taken with 100mm Tal refractor, 2.7x Airylab telecentric and the Daystar Quark along with the FLIR Grasshopper camera with the IMX174 chip.
