Hi,

Greetings all,

Nice of the sun to host a BBQ on a day off from work!

http://www.avertedimagination.com/img_pages/labor_day_bbq.html

This large prominence was large and very active, showing much change over a half
hour of observing.

Captured with Little Big Man (my AP 92mm F5 Stowaway refractor with 90mm Coronado
Solarmax H-Alpha filter.)

Best wishes for a happy Labor Day,

Alan

Alan,

I read that there was a monster prom today, wish I had clear weather to view it, but I'm glad you gave us a view of it!

Wow, sweet image Alan! One of these days I'd like to get a setup for solar viewing too.

Fantastic as always Alan. Perhaps we are heading for some increased activity soon.
