Zirin Solar Prominences Class 1 & 2 diagram

How these images were acquired: (unless otherwise noted)
• The white-light images were taken with a 100mm f/10 refractor or 80mm f/15, herschel wedge and Nikon CP990.
• The H-alpha images were taken with a 75mm f/8 refractor, Coronado Solarmax 40, and Nikon CP990.
• Finally, the images are processed with Adobe Photoshop VI. I generally use a contrast stretch, curves adjust and un-sharp mask.
