Dynamic Sun with huge prominences


This morning I took some pictures of the sun using my SolarMaxIII (H-Alpha). Within a timeframe of 16 minutes the shape of the prominences changed dramatically.

For the first time I used flats for H-Alpha by using a plastic bag and adjusting histogram by changing the exposure time and gain  within SharpCap Pro. 
The SER 16bit file was stacked using AS3!. The resulted TIFF16 file was adjusted in IMPPG and CS4. Color was added in CS4 : Red 1.33, Green 0.44 and Blue 0.2.
