Yeeeeeooowww! Is all I can say about today's loop prominence.
I came home from work, grabbed my toolbox and was supposed to work in the yard. Thought I'd take a quick look at the sun first. Instead of doing my "chores" I grabbed my LPI, Meade 140 barlow and fired up my SMn filter. The sun was low in the west but I had to try so I cranked off images until the sun set behind the trees.
Here's a VERY compressed, quickly tweeked, uncropped image of the spectacular loop prominence. After some more tinkering I'll post some others.
Enjoy.
