April 11, 2014: Brief session with detached prom

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Just had a quick look at the sun with the LS35, and a series of smaller proms can be seen on eastern and western limb, with a larger "wall" looking a bit like frizzy hair on the north-western limb. Several sunspots could be seen, one close to the "wall" with a big dark whorl around it. On the north-eastern limb one smaller prom points straight to a little detached prom at quite a distance from the limb. 20x mag in the 20mm EP showed it best.  May have another session at lunchtime

Yep some nice activity on the North side, in fact interesting proms all over. Very nice.
