June 29, 2013: Really nice proms on the eastern limb

I just had a look at the sun in H-alpha, and a great, complex prom was visible on the northern part of the eastern limb. It looked almost like a breaking wave. Further south a second prom was visible. The western limb was virtually clear of proms, apart from some very small ones.

On the surface, a few AR were visible, showing various filaments and bright areas around the sunspots

Thanks for the heads-up. Just been out for a quick look with the PST. Quite impressive.

I just had another look, and realized that the big prom is a bit further south than I thought. I could now resolve it into a series of loops.
