Telescope:6inch f9Vixen
Camera:Lumenera 075M
Solar Prom
Date:15th August 2008 0813ut
Telescope:6inch f9Vixen@216inch efl.
Camera:Lumenera 075M
It is interesting to compare this image with the SOHO image of the same time, remembering that the SOHO image in the UV part of the spectrum.
Very Small Solar Flare
Date:23rd Aug 2008 07:54ut
Telescope:6inch f9Vixen, stopped to 4.5 inches. 2x powermate. Daystar ATM .6A Hydrogen alpha filter.
Camera:Lumenera 075M
This sequence was capture during the decline of this small flare. It was very bright and is burned out on this otherwise quite dark image. It is at it's biggest and brightest at the start of this sequence of 10 frames taken at 1 minute intervals.

This is a fair sized Prominence on the SE limb of the Sun
Solar flare near prominences
Date:23rd August 2008 0754ut
Telescope:6inch f9Vixen
Camera:Lumenera 075M
As I settled the scope on this prominence group, I noticed this small flare in progress it was extremly bright and "burning out" on the image. It has an associated filament "eyebrow"
Small Active Region

This is a small active region imaged in Ha.
Prominence Group
Date:22nd August 2008
Telescope:6inch f9Vixen
Camera:Lumenera 075M
A group of prominences, of varying brightnesses.
Chrystal Prominence
Date:12th August 2008 11:01 ut
Telescope:6 inch f9 Vixen ED
Camera:LU075M
The Vixen was stopped to 4.5" with a red ERF. A 2.5X Powermate was fitted in front of the Daystar Ha filter for f 30. However with the 2.5x powermate stretched by the filter's length, this drops the power to 2x, so the camera actually sees f24.
Solar Prominence
Date:1st August 2008
Telescope:80mm TMB @ F/30
Camera:Lumenera 075M and Daystar ATM .6A filter
this is quite a large Prominence considering the Sun's current quiet phase
