That's phenomenal Tim. FWIW last night was First Light for my own ASI174mm uncooled mono. Instead of imagine, using it as a large format guide camera . Purchased last month for $499. This month price has jumped to $599.

In a couple days, the sun will have rotated enough to put this prominence on the disk's edge so I can hopefully get a side view of it. I just hope it doesn't subside by then and the weather cooperates.

Really nice image of the prominence.

Your images remind me that astrophotography is not necessarily only a nighttime endeavor.

Great job... love to see more.
