May 14, morning session: quite quiet in H-alpha

I just set up the H-alpha scope at work, and I must say after all the splendid fireworks of the last few says, the view was a bit disappointing. Two large sunspots of the current crop of big ARs were showing, and some interesting bright and dark structures surrounded them, but in terms of prominences it was almost eerily quiet. A little, very thin arc showed up on the eastern limb, and a few small ones on the western side, but that was it. I may have another look come lunch time

Never speak too soon with the Sun!

Never speak too soon with the Sun!

Yep! A big prom might go off at any time. I will check in 15-25 minutes again

13:00, still very quiet. Prom on eastern limb has died down considerably, one on the western limb a bit more lively.
