Large Solar Promience and AR-Flare in motion from 8th January 2025 – Time Lapse


| | |

The image and time lapse reveals the chromosphere activity on 18th January 2025, with a large prominence in motion, while an Active Region (sunspot) visible in the corner was releasing a nice eruptive filament (prominence in front of the disc). Stability of the atmosphere was average to poor, but I could capture enough images to produce the time lapse. They have been captured with a SW Esprit 120mm and a Quark Prominence filter, with the new Apollo 428M Max Pro camera from Player One Astronomy. Below is possible to watch the video time lapse sequence compiling 162 shots processed, each one as result of a stack of the best 200 frames from each raw video. The final result is a 4K high resolution time lapse movie comprising around 50 minutes of images.

PT: A imagem e time-lapse revelam a actividade da cromosfera no dia 18 de janeiro de 2025, com uma grande proeminência em movimento, enquanto uma Região Activa (mancha solar) visível no canto inferior direito libertava um belo filamento eruptivo (proeminência na frente do disco). A estabilidade da atmosfera era mediana com momentos de forte instabilidade, mas ainda assim foi possível conseguir captar imagens suficientes para produzir um time lapse. As imagens foram captadas com um SW Esprit 120mm e um filtro Quark Prominence, com a nova Apollo 428M Max Pro camera da Player One Astronomy. Em baixo é possível ver o vídeo time lapse compilando 162 captações processadas, cada uma como resultado de um stack dos melhores 200 frames de cada vídeo raw. O resultado final é um filme time lapse de alta resolução de 4K que condensa cerca de 50 minutos de imagens.
