Sketch created scopeside with black Strathmore Artagain paper, white Conte’ crayon and pencil, Derwent charcoal pencil, black oil pencil
There were six active regions on the Sun, but a western prominence region caught my eye as a possible CME that took place during my observation. If it was simply an erupting prominence, it was the brightest I’ve witnessed as such. I’ve created an animation of my sketch sequence that I recorded during the observation at 5-minute intervals.

nice sketches and great animation! Super!

Erika,
Absolutely stunning!
I have never seen such an animation of a solar prominence done via sketching medium. Each sketch on its own is a beauty. Then, to put this sequence together, WOW is all I can say!
Well done!
Alex M.
