Description

Sunspot group: 488 Mission: Micro Flare Development Equipment: William Optics FLT110 Fluorite Apochromat. Daystar 0.42Ã… Ha filter, Denkmeier 2x Magnifier, TeleVue 4x Powermate. Losmandy G-11. At some stage over an hour of data, the flare in 488 developed into a Preying Mantis. Personally, the most eerie photo I ever took. The crossed H-a bridges adds to the effect. There is a well defined H-a foot followed by an up swirl of excited Hydrogen creating the bright mantis-like feature. http://www.mak-newt.com
