There was a rather nice loop prominence on the Sun's leading limb (left side of the photo) yesterday afternoon so I took a few afocal shots with my Canon Digital Rebel DSLR. The prominence is located at approximately 9 o'clock in this not so great image.

Nicely done Dave! 8)

I enhanced a lil' bit your image in Photoshop, just so as to bring up the detail on the edges, and it shows 2 prominences, one at about 9 o'clock and the other at about 12 o'clock...

Hope you'll like it...

Hello Dave
I was on vacation in Flordia and took my Coronado PST along with me and caught that prominence loop on Tuesday 8/1/2006. I used my Fuji S-3000 digital camera to capture the image.
Enjoy, Arthur
