BIG doings on the sun

Here is a picture of the grand prominence that has been gracing the solar disk over the last two days.

Alan,

That prom is HUGE! I have an image of it and am trying to figure out the best way to present it (colour-wise). I love your method.

Thats the best picture of our star I have ever seen the detail you get is amazing.

This is a really cool shot. It prompted me to bring my Lunt 60mm to work today. Most of my office came out to look at it. It's still huge. Right now it has two distinct sections. One that looks like a massive tree caught in a wind storm and another that is a classic loop with a big hole in it. There is a another good one on the opposite limb. It's much smaller than these but still good size. For everyone that looked through my scope I put it on that one first with the giant one out of the FOV. I then showed them how to move the control bringing it into the FOV. I got a bunch of WOWs and awesomes. It was cool.
