Some picules, the tendrils rising above the surface of the solar chromosphere, visible through an H-alpha filter.

On Sunday it was 8 years to the day since I photographed the biggest solar #prominence I've ever seen. It was 100,000 km tall & that tiny dot is the approximate size of Earth to scale. Taken with a #CoronadoPST + Canon 1100D with 2x Barlow #Sun #SolarImaging #SuninHAlpha #Chromosphere #SolarFeatures

My piece of photography "Shining through the valley", highlighting that moment during an eclipse when the lunar mountains have covered up the sun's disk, the only direct sunlight left being little "beads" that effervesce before the last plunge into total darkness.
This particular example, the only one I've yet seen, comes from the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse.
