Solar h-alpha, Active regions 1054, 1056
Sketch and Details by Erika Rix
DS 60mm Maxscope, LXD75, 21-7mm Zhumell
H-alpha sketch created scope-side with black Canson paper, white Conte’ crayon and pencil, white Prang watercolor pencil, Derwent charcoal pencil, black oil pencil.
That huge prom was an absolute beauty and I could have spent the entire day sketching it over and over for an animation. As it was, it nearly was so complex that a person could spend too much time on one sketch and end up chasing the changes and never actually complete the sketch.

A really fascinating drawing.
Our Sun really puts out some energy, yet it is a mere candle in comparison to some of the supergiants like Rigel etc.
Erika,
Wonderful sketch!
