Quiescent prominence, Daystar

Quiescent solar prominence,
H-alpha wings, dopplergram
Activated solar prominence
Activated quiescent prominence still behind the northeast
limb. Though seeing was sporadic, much back
streaming could be followed, along with large spicules and surge
prominences along the foreground limb.
Farther down the page is the same prominence 24 hours later.
Activated quiescent solar
prominence, Daystar ION 0.8A H-alpha filter
This is the same activated prominence on the northeast limb as 02
Sept., 24 hours later. Solar rotation has moved it
fully onto the limb and it now stands 50,000 km high.
Some prominence material has already been thrown off, and within 8
hour the remaining prominence will lift off, scattering southward
(to left).
Massive surge prominence in AR11280 along western limb.
Seeing was sporadic, but in those moments of good seeing, fine
structure was well resolved.
Sunspot group in AR11289. The 0.8A Daystar filter is
intended pretty exclusively for solar prominence
photography, however, these photos demonstrate that chromospheric
features on the disk can be imaged as well.

Solar flare and surge in AR11302
Massive, long lasting quiescent prominence along the SE limb, 12
Nov. 2011. Seeing was poor due to rainy skies, but didn't
want to miss a chance to see this prominence first hand.
Activated solar prominence, equatorial eastern limb
Eruptive prominence obscures quiescent prominence along the
eastern limb, 31 December 2011
Arching eruptive solar prominence that appears to be
associated with a limb flare on the eastern limb.
Coronal Rain on western limb. Remnants of a large filament
that lifted off several days earlier, now a good deal of the
ejected plasma is cooling and returning to the chromosphere.
Note the various small bright knots of plasma rapidly
descending. Image time frame: 19:21-19:51 14 Jan. 2012

Post flare loops following X1.8 class solar flare in outgoing
AR11402, northwestern limb, 27 Jan. 2012 19:24-19:52 UT
Typical winter seeing conditions, but with brief moments of
smoother air. Shot with new DMK21AU618 USB2 video camera.
Improved sensitivity at 6563A allowed higher shutter speed @ 60fps
helping resolve and capture finer structure in the loops despite
poor seeing.
Ellerman Bombs around sunspot in AR11410 and in emerging flux
region in AR11413, Daystar ION filter
Very active quiescent solar prominence along eastern limb, 19 Feb.

Small flare on edge of emerging flux region (EFR) produces small
surge prominence and erupting filaments, AR11422, 19 Feb. 2012
Ellerman Bombs in AR11429 and neighboring Emerging Flux Region,
-0.5 Angstrom blue wing H-alpha filtergram
Vertical jet-like structure in AR11429 spot cluster, 03 March
2012. The jets are likely bright surges with the small
sub-flares producing them clearly visible at their bases.
AR11429 was putting on a show before even rounding the eastern
limb into view with an X-class flare. Since then there have
been daily flaring associated with the
spots and plage, C, M and X class flares.
Polar crown quiescent prominence, southeastern limb, 11 March 2012
Post flare loops as absorption features over AR11429 1.5 hours
after M8.4 class solar flare - remnant of southern flare ribbon
can still be seen.
