SW AR and Proms at two scales;Lunt LS50 30Sep09
      #3366258 - 09/30/09 02:35 PM Attachment (24 downloads)

Caught the South Western AR and some nearby prominences as they slip towards the western edge. First image taken at 600mm focal length and the second at 1500mm. I guess I pushed the seeing too hard with the second image but I include it for interest. Lunt LS50 etalon with B1200 blocker on SkyWatcher ED-80, using a 2.5 times barlow for the long FL image; Philips SPC 900 webcam.
Cheers,
Alan C.
