Hello everyone,

I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me what this black blast is:

Seems like it was strangely edited. Kinda makes the filament look odd.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

This post gives me the opportunity to publish this photo reprocessed.
This is a classic prominence / filament sticking out the solar corona.
But in addition to fully appreciate the chromosphere, may be the "spicules", which have an average height of eight thousand miles, so the prominence, may be around 150,000 miles.
The filter used is a Daystar 0.45A ° and a telescope AP 6" and DMK31 camera.
Greetings

true, sry for the morphing artefacts...i'm kinda new in this type of timelaps, and i only had 1 frame every 15 mins.

edit: If someone knows where to get SDO sunpics with smaller spacing than 15 mins, or have advice for better results in slowmo timelapsing of the sun... plz let me know !

edit2: is there any source, providing continuous pic's of other objects like galaxys or nebulae ?
