A nice bright solar prominence has been growing over the last two days.
Can you see the small Halloween goblin looking out from amidst the flames?

cheers-
Alan

Alan,

Beautiful!! If we can't have decent spots, it's nice to get some decent proms! I shot a series of that prom this morning, 30 series of 600 frames shot 80 seconds apart each. I am hoping to turn them into an animation and see how that works.
