Finally done with classes and I got some time to at least star processing my pics. Gonna be a while before I figure out all the HDR stuff, so here's a pic of the prominences about 10 seconds before C3. It was absolutely nutty seeing them naked eye during the eclipse, and visually through my other telescope. Captured on April 8th, 2024 from Sikeston, MO.

Any chance you would be willing to share in high res? This is an amazing shot.

This is already the highest res (at least in terms of being zoomed in), but here's the entire uncropped photo
