There was an annular eclipse this morning?

There was an annular eclipse this morning?

Why, did you not know??

For the benefit of others here, I removed the detail on the sun's disc as there wasn't significant activity on the disc today in the area of the image shown. It simplifed the processing of the image just to work on the prominences.

and you even managed to image the earth in there also. :lol:

...well they do say I'm a bit spaced out and often seem to live on another planet...

Holy Cow! You're really getting your money's worth out of that scope lately Mike! Nice touch blocking out the sun's disk to enhance the flares/prominences.

Seanie.

Jeex Michale,

You've really got that PST working to the max. Fabulous image!! Glad your getting your moneys worth from it.

Keep em comin'

Super activity today on the Sun. Very large prominences. Fabulous to look at. Below is an image I took just a few minutes ago.

Fantastic image Michael. Just got out of hospital this afternoon after 5 days so rushed out with my PST to have a look as soon as I read your post. Beautiful! Best view of prominences I've seen to date. Wonder if the large piece will break away.
