The Sun was very exciting yesterday as I watched two very active prominences interacting with one another and making a plasma bridge on the solar limb. At times tenuous pieces floated off into space…it was so fascinating to watch!
I had a little bit of trouble working out the orientation of the Sun as I usually don’t take images early in the morning, so I used the solar disc displayed on the Spaceweather website to lined up the sunspots with the ones on my image and it helped greatly :-D

Images were taken on the 16th February 2022 with a Lunt 60mm PT/Ha Solar Telescope & Canon 700D camera with a 2x Barlow lens attached.
One set of 30 images were taken for the solar disc with exposure of 1/350th second and ISO200 and one set of 30 images for the faint prominence with exposure of 1/15th second and ISO400. Then both images were combined in PS CS4.
