We had a lovely fine day today for solar viewing and what a delight to see this very delicate large prominence on the north eastern limb of the Sun.
I watched it for quite some time hoping to see if it would detach or reconnect, to my surprise it reconnected and became a Hedgerow prominence...how exciting was that!
With the monochrome image you can see the prominence just before the plasma connects and 15 minutes later the colour image shows its now reconnected back to the Sun.
Images were taken with a Lunt 60mm solar telescope with an attached Canon 700D camera, 20 images were captured for each set of images, one set for the solar disc and one set for the faint prominence, then stacked in RegiStax6 and combined in PS.
