Dr. Bernhard Christ has been using DMK 31AF03.AS astronomy camera for two and half years. His previous works include photos of ISS, the Moon, and the Solar/Lunar Eclipse. The following Sun picture are still fresh. He photographed them on last Friday.

Two of them are grayscale inversed. And all of them are zoomed to adapt to our blog layout. But you can open the original ones by clicking on the pictures below.

Here is what he wrote in the email:

on friday morning (2010-07-09, 7:42 CEST), before sun spot NOAA 11087 became visible next day, I could catch a small sun flare with my DMK31AF03. The flare showed much more brightness than the surrounding sun area. It vanished some minutes after I took the video.

In the pics below one can see the flare close to the prominence (North-East is in corner up-right). First pic (dmk31 10-07-10 07-42-57 b PSE positiv) is the H alpha-pic taken with a 90/1000-PST applying ocular projection and the DMK31AF03. Next (dmk31 10-07-10 07-42-57 b PSE invers) is the negativ version of this pic. And the third pic (dmk31 10-07-10 07-42-57 a invers tis) shows NAOO 11087 on saturday also as a negativ version.

Vielen Dank für Ihre schönen Bilder Herr Dr. Christ! Wir würden uns über weitere Astronomie-Fotos von Ihnen sehr freuen.
