AR10953 and an eruptive prominence

[Starman]

Interesting activity today. With all eyes turned towards 953, it was all too easy to miss what was going on to the west! Here's a Sun strip giving a summary...

Darn, i didn't see that one today. I spotted the little bonfire in the left of your image, but not the long sexy bit at the other side. Perhaps it had gone away before I had a look.

Smashing Image Pete, does your camera get all that in one shot, or is it a combined image?

It was a painfully combined image CC. IIRC two shots for each prominence arc and 5 for the surface.
