Lambda prom new
      #2247647 - 03/10/08 08:54 AM Attachment (29 downloads)

Had another go at some proms on March 9. The heat stuffs up the seeing pretty quickly, but there is some detail. One of these kind of looks like the greek letter lambda. Is the 'spikiness' on the limb spicules, or just the fuzzy edge of the sun?

Thanks for the comments. Thanks for adding the other image Stets (John?), it's great to see different images of the same features and how they change with time.
