Incredible sight....

[pragmatist]

South limb, prom just shy of of the edge enough so that you can see bright hot spot where the plasma is coming from, damn cloud keeps getting in the way though.

Only got a brief look-in, but it was a fine sight. I suppose that's the nice thing about solar - I still remember views that I only got to see for a couple of seconds

Thanks for the heads up, I will try to grab the next break in the clouds

Interesting. Judging by the latest NASA image, something big is erupting there right now. Cloudy here!

Yes very active indeed lots & lots going on, I have a huge break in the clouds coming up very soon, so I am going to sit and wait for it like  a lemon

Cant wait for Saturday and Sunday judging by all the Sun and Moon icons on the forecast

As seen through the eyepiece in the 2 O'clock position, I guess this would be reversed in real time, There is an absolute Brama of an ejection.

I saw it form and then expand into a huge full circle and then break in the centre, stunning its a good job that wasn't facing us

Im off back out I don't want to miss anything ....Chow

I must be one of the luckiest sons of guns on the planet, that one reached between 150,000 - 200,000 Km form the suns surface, judging by the table posted earlier in the week

I tell you something, Solar observing takes some beating for entertainment / enjoyment

A nice prominence is coming off the Sun just above sunspot 2035 (opposite side from 2034) as seen in my PST. Its about 15% of the sun's diameter.

Sorry Folks just been out again and the prom has now gone.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Spotted a ghostly arcing prom on the south-western limb, close to a bright upright prom, which almost looked like a rearing lion at 20x. Higher magnification gave a less heraldic appearance. On the east, a very pright and compact arc can be seen, along with several others. Very dynamic picture today.

Looking through the wedge the spots are very dark and handsome   it very handy indeed having the 2 scopes along side one another. However, I feel I will give myself an RSI if I am not careful, it is like being at Wimbledon on the centre court

[Umbraldot]

So frustrating to be under all this darned cloud!

[pragmatist]

I know what you mean, infuriating to get such amazing views of something which is slowly unfolding only to lose visual for a good hour or two which results in missing the spectacle. Grrrrr!!

^{I like your clockface  description of where you saw the proms, so much easier, may use that myself as i always get confused. I'm sure using a diagonal means ease is west lol.}

It is strange, 

Its like when you face a mirror and you hold your right hand up in the air, in the mirror it looks like a picture of someone who is holding their left hand up    but when you reach out and touch the mirror so that both fingertips meet it becomes obvious
