I would love to, but clouds, clouds, clouds are all I can see

[David Smith]

Cloudy here

[JB80]

I have a heap of avis to go through now.

Might put the scope in the shade to cool off and keep an eye on it for lift off.

[Solar_observer]

Just had another look now, the hedgerow has grown and I've read it could lift anytime. It seems to be anchored at only 2 points now onto the photosphere instead of the 4 from yesterday. Going to keep an eye out all day, if I can.

wishing you sunny days.

[JB80]

It looks to be lifting and about to separate in the middle of it now.

Will stick at it I guess.

Just woke up - had a nice session last night. So will grab a coffee, slap my face a few times and head out. Gorgeous blue sky morning

[Solar_observer]

Clouded out now, maybe from 12, it will clear.

wishing you sunny days.

Another piece of in for you solar nuts. If a prom SUDDENLY dissappears, it's classed as a "DISPARITION BRUSQUE".

just thought I'd say.

wishing you sunny days.

[JB80]

I had one of those this morning.

The big prom is still hanging in there, it's off the FoV now on the gong network but it's still intact.

[Solar_observer]

Lmao

wishing you sunny days.

Watching it now in Norfolk. It's massive! Biggest I've ever seen with my PST.

[Moonshane]

gutted. the forecast was cloudy all day so I didn't bother. of course the forecast was not quite right........

[Stu]

Great stuff, although it's annoying I have got my quark with me but nothing to mount it on!

[Davey-T]

Set up to look at clouds ATM

[Solar_observer]

Caught a glimpse between clouds and it's definitely lift within the centre region. I'm sticking with it as the clouds are giving me the odd break.

wishing you sunny days.

[JB80]

This was from my first avi of the day.

Stunningly amazing. Seems more or less 2 parts now, the left part is stretching even higher and the lower part is receding and getting denser and thicker.

wishing you sunny days.

[Solar_observer]

No matter how i tune the scope though, its not as bright. Im assuming this is cos its moving away from the observer?

wishing you sunny days.

No time to scan in sketch this morning but with the Micro Guide, I made a rough estimate that the main prominence is about 290,000 km in length (some 180,000 miles long). With an estimated average height of between 160,000 km to 175,000km. At one moment, I had even measured it in one place at almost 200,000 km.

When I began sketching, the prominence was clearly rooted at two places along the limb forming a very bright arch, but by the time I had packed up it had become uprooted in one place and was clearly lifting and dissipating into the darkness of space. 

There was also another glorious prominence at about 3 o'clock on the solar limb. Significantly smaller but no less beautiful, like a burning bush in apocalyptic stories. This was some 95,000 km in length, reaching to a maximum height of about 60,000 km.

[Solar_observer]

Im going to leave you to explain the detail, im rubbish.

wishing you sunny days.

I just looked on the NSO GONG website and swore at the screen, that is MASSIVE     

I am gutted the clouds are in for the long term by the looks of it, or I would have been glued to the EP this morning.

Here's a very imperfect quick capture from lunchtime. False colour, obviously. It's a whopper!
