That is quite the collection; nicely done! Hopefully Cycle 25 enables you to get some more great shots!
All the best,

Re: Prominences from Cycle 24
Some crackers there. They probably fit right into the solar images section.
Pardon my ignorance as i have just returned after a couple of years out but are you still imaging and posting?

Thanks Mark, I don't image any more I'm strictly visual now, but still looking forward to the increasing solar activity.Thefatkitty wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:23 pm That is quite the collection; nicely done! Hopefully Cycle 25 enables you to get some more great shots!

Re: Prominences from Cycle 24
Thanks Fraz, I don't image anymore, I sold off my last camera and tracking mounts a few years ago. I used to be in the solar group on the Astronomy forum back in 2013-2017 (username Gus.k) and remember some of the great banter
and images, had a great time on that site.

Re: Prominences from Cycle 24
Yeah, I remember, you pointed me in the right direction many times.
Do you still look at things from a technical perspective/ I ask because I was going to post about my inadequacy in that department.

Hi Fraz, yes, I'm still very interested in that aspect of solar observing and equipment.

Re: Prominences from Cycle 24
In all the years, I never knew you were Ivan
We have solsearcher and you for the technical stuff then, Keith and i have a passing knowledge.
John (Lowjiber and Ben Cartwright for Equipment and processing stuff with Keith and I with a passing knowledge)
We have lots of knowledge of white light of varying capabilities and experience.
What we are lacking is new blood
Where do you find that?

Re: Prominences from Cycle 24
Hi Ivan; thanks for the response Any particular reason you're not doing imaging anymore? Though I have to admit, visual is just easier (and cheaper too!)
All the best,
