June 2, 2014: Massive prom still active before breakfast

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Just had a quick look, and the massive prom on the south-eastern limb is still going strong. It looks like a collection of flames more than a partial arc at the moment. Another, fainter prom is visible southwards. To the north of the big prom there is a little bright spike right on the limb. Might become active. Looks like a great day for solar observation.

Just had a look with the PhD students. Still very nice. Well worth a look

Thanks for the heads up, Michael I wasn't going to bother taking my scope in to work today, as I can get the Sun before and after work now if the clouds play ball. But as the prom was still there, I did, and got a lovely quick view from the car park before the working day started. Some of my colleagues had a look too. Fab!

Cheers, Luke, great way to start a working day

Just had another look, and it is still alive and kicking, albeit a bit fainter in my view. Wonder whether it will still be visible tomorrow

No luck our way this evening. Just as well I took the scope in after your heads up
