Solar Prom Animation from 7-2-24

This is my second solar animation. Processing went a little smoother as I am getting more familiar with techniques. This time around I darkened the surface since there was nothing noteworthy in the region of the prominences. The roughly 6 second animation represents 1 hour and 4 minutes of real time on the sun. It started off pretty well detail wise, however, the sharpness seemed to get worse halfway through. I think this was due to diminishing seeing conditions, especially since it was very cloudy an hour later.

The large prominence in the right portion is quite impressive, however, I really like how the portion in the lower region floats above the chromosphere accepting particle releases from the large prom and releasing particles to the left.
