Prominence today

Hello guys,

I've had a little time to glance at the sun today and, although the disc was a red desert, the limb was animated by a number of interesting prominences 8)

The seeing wasnt bad, so I took some films and here is the 1st image of the largest of the proms today.

A small picture, but the sun is a little stingy these days and we must take whatever it serves

Ciao all

Hi Gianluca:

I've been waiting for someone to post a current solar composite, that is an incredible image! I think I'll start browsing Astromart for an H-Alpha scope! Our local star is definitely worth observing. Thanks for posting and have a great weekend, Dan

This is another group from today.
