Well, I saw them yesterday anyway - not sure about today.
There were two really tall ones on the NW limb, and a big long "hedgerow" on the SE.
Haven't seen that much prominence activity for a couple years!
Anybody else catch those?

I saw them too!. Captured some images in both h-alpha and CaK but have recently changed internet providers so I can't post them quite yet. They were AWESOME! The Sun has been so bland recently it was a nice to see such beautiful proms.
