The images posted here were taken with the PST-DS and the Mallincam DS 2.3+. The colors are as captured by the camera. Each image was captured as a 500 frame avi. The avi was loaded into Registax 6 for alignment and stacking. The best 200 frames from each avi were stacked and wavelet processing was also performed in Registax. The result shows some nice detail on both prominences, including complex loops and other structures caused by the sun's magnetic field:

Last Sunday was a great day for solar observation! The sky was clear all day and the sun had a couple of large prominences on display.
