Hi MIchael
I'm currently processing an animation of this prom and your sketches are very like what was happening. You obviously have an excellent eye for detail.

Thanks Dave.
I'd be interested to see your processed images. Feel free to post them in this thread and we can compare the images to sketches directly like-for-like.

Michael --

Looking good! The only thing I'd suggest is to brighten the "context box" on the sun graphic a bit more. I didn't notice it at first.

Cheers,

Jeff,
Yes, I think you are right. It would be easier to see it then.
Cheers,

Those sketches are fantastic! I have never had the privilege of seeing a solar prominence 'in the flesh' but spent some time a couple of years back sketching sunspot activity. If only I had known about the black paper trick then ... did all my sketches at the time on white A4 which is pretty blinding on a bright sunny day.

Keep up the good work!
