Had a great session yesterday morning. Unfortunately I lost a lot of my data by file corruption! Mores specifically my multi-hour time-lapse got cut short to less than an hour, and I lost all my photosphere shots. But plenty of stills and the animation still shows some faint action.

 

I used my Bresser AR-152L achro and double stacked Quark/Lunt 40mm, ASI432mm cam @ 8ms, gain between 270-350.

 

For the animation I shot single stacked with only the Quark, and pushed the exposure... not sure if I really got any more detail than the DS images.

 

Animation of a faint and fading prom on western limb:

Still shot of this prom from earlier in the morning:

Prom on NE limb:

Some more limb prom shots around N-NW limb:

With the close proximity of AR's  3448 -3449 (but not close enough to fit in one frame) I did a high resolution mosaic from 3 images:

One more I wanted to share, AR 3450 was looking good so wanted to give it a bit of screen time too:
