Solar Prom alert

[allcart]

For those folks with an early morning view, there is a very large looping prom at the 2 o.clock NW position this morning. Will be worth looking at if you get the chance.

It may linger for a while, but as its on the NW limb, it will be dissappearing soon.

Yes had a look at that half an hour ago, very very nice. In fact the sun is quite active all around. Wish I could have seen that one earlier on.

I need the Sun to clear the house first.

Hope it doesn't fade by then.

Missed the large prominence but caught a C class flare in the leading section of AR2036 in progress at 0851 UT.  Started to fade 0859 and ended 0907 UT. 

7 small prominences counted.  Most filaments faint except broad filament to northeast of AR2033 and strongish filament to south of AR2034.

Blimey you sound like a solar scientist.

Haha..far from it. Just decades of sunspot reports!

Very impressive

Thanks for the heads up, Allan

I just caught it this morning, a rushed session before work after your heads-up. Not just big, but a beautiful ring, I think it was one of the nicest proms I've seen so far. :laugh:

I missed it by about 9 hours  pesky work.

Hopefully I will get out in a few minutes to have a quick look.
