This image shows an enormous solar filament extending out from the chromosphere of the Sun. Filaments are the exact same phenomena as prominences, only they are seen against the solar disk instead of extending out from the limb. Taken with a single stacked Coronado PST and a 24mm Baader Hyperion Zoom eyepiece connected to a Canon EOS 60Da in Movie Crop Mode. The best 300 frames were selected from a total of 7242 video frames. Aligned, stacked, and sharpened in Registax 6. False colour added in PS Elements 10.
