Subject: [AZ-Observing] Time-lapse of Sun In H-alpha

Here is a time-lapse animation of images covering 65 minutes with a 5-minute 
interval between frames.  I used a 70mm refractor with a 60mm H-alpha filter.  
The native focal length is 480mm, which was extended to 960mm with a Barlow.  
The angular size of the Earth at the distance of the Sun is about one-fourth of 
the length of that prominent horizontal filament just above the center of the 
image.

The file is 4.0 Mb, so it might take a while to fully load the animation.
