I had a chance to use my Coronado PST and 8-24mm Vixen zoom eyepiece in the early afternoon on Wednesday. A very long filament that has been working its way across the Sun and a large triple prominence were both quite striking. The solar disk was devoid of sunspots.

See http://pub48.bravenet.com/photocenter/viewimg.php?usernum=4063150066&show=6BBED1DD03.jpg for an image of the prominence that I found on the 'net.
