Solar Animation 7-19-24

For this animation, rather than just focusing on the prominences I kept the surface features as well. I am getting more familiar with producing these time-lapses but still have a way to go but I am not sure how detailed I can get with the ED80. There are three to four large prominence regions in this cropped view but I also was drawn to the movement of the filament (dark streak) in the right center. I ended up with five versions with other versions having less noise but also less detail before settling on this one. (48 min. Time-Lapse)
