Massive Prominence in Motion Captured with the Soleye 300 Dual-band
Alqueva´s Dark Sky Reserve | By Year: 2026 | Solar Ha | Time Lapses Photography
I’m gradually starting to process many of the times lapses I’ve captured in 2025. This one features a gigantic prominence in motion captured on July 2nd, 2025, from Dark Sky® Alqueva region in Portugal, with the biggest setup, the Soleye 300 dual-band. This prominence was so impressive and massive that totally flooded the entire field of view of my Player One Camera. Conditions were not perfect due to unstable seeing and high thin passing clouds.
PT: Começando gradualmente a processar muitos dos timelapses que captei em 2025, aqui fica o primeiro desta série. A imagem revela uma proeminência gigantesca em movimento captada a 2 de julho de 2025, na região de Dark Sky® Alqueva, em Portugal, com o equipamento mais potente que tenho disponível, o Soleye 300 dual-band. Esta proeminência era tão impressionante e enorme que preencheu completamente o campo de visão da minha câmara Player One. As condições não eram as ideias, com alguma instabilidade do seeing e nuvens altas finas e passageiras.
