So I'm finally caught up as this is the last of my 'old' images. The next solar project will be within the same week as collection which occured today, 😉. These were taken a mere week ago when I was checking out the Quark after cleaning it. I had an oops moment when I forgot to remove the plastic cover during an outreach event. Because the Quark is installed at the eyepiece the full photon force of the sun hits the cap and vaporizes (burns a hole on it) it. Fortunately, it still worked well enough for the outreach event. I did contact DayStar and explained that there was a little film on the diagonal (which I cleaned) and the Quark. She said it happens often and it was safe to use 91% isopropyl alcohol and Q-tips for cleaning which I promptly did.

The first image shows well defined active regions along with a large almost continuous prominence. The second image has less active regions on the surface but a very distinct and well defined prominence.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
