Description

Sequence of Prominences during totality 2024.  Recorded on the Sky & Telescope Cruise in the Pacific off Mazatlan.  Shout-out to the Captain for finding wide patch of clear skies! 

Sequence of subs taken at 1/3200 sec, ISO 400, 210 mm fl.  The time is the camera time and not the accurate time.

Canon R50 with RF-S lens set to 210 mm F7.1.  N5 glass solar filter (Celestial Optical) Mounted on tripod .  Acquisition using laptop and APT software. Both laptop and camera powered by EBT power station.  

One can see the movement of the moon across the sun exposing the 2nd and 3rd contact prominences.  
Quite interesting that the prominences are brighter than the corona.  During the eclipse, I believe I saw the largest prominence (lower right) develop / appear with my naked eye!
