A filaprom is a cross between a filament and a prominence, as a prominence rotates onto the disk, before it becomes a filament outright, as it hovers above both the surface and the limb it is known as a filaprom. Taken with the 203mm Airylab HaT at 5.6m focal length with a double stacked etalon and the PGR Blackfly GigE IMX249 CMOS camera.
This new little active region looked like it had the potential to develop a bit when I photographed it this morning, seemed to be crackling away on the smaller scale. Taken with the 203mm Airylab HaT at 5.6m focal length, with a double stacked etalon (Daystar Quark and PST), with a PGR Blackfly GigE IMX249 camera.
This new active region has bubbled up in the last 24 hours or so, will be interesting to see if it develops into anything. Taken with the 203mm Airylab Hat at 5.6m focal length with the double stacked Daystar Quark and the PGR Blackfly GigE IMX249 camera.
This active region looks nowhere near as impressive as it did over the past week when it was geo-effective, now it looks quite demure! Taken with the Airylab HaT at 5.6m focal length with the double stacked Daystar Quark and the PGR Blackfly GigE IMX249 camera.
Starting to get the hang of things now, another 20 frame animation covering just under 15 minutes real time of AR12526 showing running penumbral waves and twisting, boiling plasma in and around the active region. Taken with the Airylab HaT at 7.25 metres focal length with the PGR Blackfly GigE IMX249 camera. This time the Daystar Quark is double stacked with a naked PST etalon. Whilst i'm pleased with this it is far from perfect as is still quite a bit off band. Still getting the hang of this new scope and etalon combination, it's taking some getting used to!
An interesting comparison of full disks here; both of the sun at roughly the same time, but taken with quite different setups. The first is taken with the triple stacked 40mm scope at 700mm focal length, the second with the single stacked Daystar Quark with a Baader TZ4 telecentric on the Skywatcher ED80 at a focal length of 2400mm. The resultant views are quite different, and with the second the Quark was on reflection not properly on band. Now I have the stock telecentric on the quark replaced with the TZ4 the aim will be to double stack this setup and try a full disk like that, which, if it works should give some interesting results! Camera used was the PGR Blackfly GigE IMX249.
I trained the Airylab HaT onto these 2 filaments for merely 15 minutes and was surprised at the amount of movement that actually occurred. The spicules look like a cornfield blowing in the wind in this time lapse sequence. Taken at 203mm aperture, 5.6m focal length with the PGR Blackfly GigE IMX249 camera.
