Cooke Telescope Tales 2 - Kodaikanal Observatory, India 1908

 

On February 18th 1908 Mr Evershed at the Solar Physics Observatory, Kodaikanal, South India using a 6 inch Thomas Cooke & Sons telescope took a  series of photographs of a solar prominence. The remarkable appearance of this kind of prominence has seldom been recorded.  20 photographs were taken with 14 being reproduced here.

 

Visual observations were also made which indicated  a moderately bright mass of prominences
