Another cloud free day in Scotland let me catch almost 9 hours of this huge and lively prom. Taken with my home made 90mm modded Coronado PST and DMK21 camera. Software: CdC, Eqmod, DSSR, AutoStakkert!, Wavesharp, DVS, Shotcut and Gimp.

God damned KDE devs at it again /s
It could be sun birds.
looks like a creature.
For comparison the distance from the plasma cloud to the sun's surface is about how far communication satellites in geostationary orbit are above Earth.
I know all kinds of nerdy things.
What does this mean for ham radio?
Nah, that is just my girlfriend taking a shower.
What a hottie.
I need details on how you homemade some stuff.
Thanks. That looks like some serious work, although very detailed.
is this rain? Does the sun have a plasma cycle that could affect wattage that hits earth?

As soon as I read the word "Scotland", my brain went back and revised this to be read in Scott Manley's voice.
Thanks, now mine did too
Yum!
Looks like the video is about 20 minutes of real time per 1 second of video. There are dops of plasma that fall further than the diameter of Earth in less than one in video second... which means the plasma is falling the more than the diameter of Earth in less than 20 minutes. That's close to 100,000 mph or 160,000 kph. Dang
About 0.01% of the speed of light. I got a Lorentz factor of 1.00000001 so not quite fast enough for relativistic stuff.
The description states it was ~9h of video
Description says the poster caught 9h of video, but based on the clock watermark in the top left, what is shown is about 7.5h of video (maybe cut for the interesting bits/highest quality) from 0830ish to 1600ish) at a rate of roughly 20 minutes of real time per 1 second video time, as the original commenter pointed out
I'll give you $10 if you lick it.
I licked it, where's my money?
I bet you had to spend at least 2$ for ice cream
Prove it!
