I have seen images that weren't that good :-) Bernard -----Original Message----- From: az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alan Strauss Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2011 7:32 PM To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Huge prominences on the sun today... Thanks for the kind words. Its pretty easy actually, a friend showed me his method and the most time consuming part is preparing the disc...which I try and do in advance. At the eyepiece I am only erasing in the plage areas and then drawing in filaments, prominences , spots, fibrils, etc. Awhile back I posted my "method" here: http://lostpleiadobservatory.blogspot.com/2011/01/making-my-solar-sketches.h tml Best, Alan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Schur" <comets133@xxxxxxxxx> To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2011 5:37:37 PM Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Huge prominences on the sun today...
