Prominence Animation - 19 July 2013

I was hoping for a longer recording today but for some unknown reason to me DSSR, my acquisition program, was not guiding correctly. After various settings, i gave up on tracking and manually controlled the mount.

I recorded for about 25 minutes and then clouds came in.  So what you are seeing here in just 6 seconds, actually happened in 25 minutes on the solar surface.

Telescope: Lunt 60 Camera: DMK21 Mount: Celestron Advanced VX Mount 25 minutes are compressed in this 6 seconds video.
