Hi all,

I was in the right place at the right time (even if the seeing was only average). I caught this flare just as it was starting and got 4 images until it was basically done. All of this in 80 minutes. The Sun sure is dynamic in H-a. I plan to re-process (with MAP) later, but wanted to get this posted today.

Hi Paul -

Excellent! - catching an eruption in progress is one of the greatest thrills of solar observing. I like how you've processed your new prominence image also.

best -
