June 15, 2014: detached prom still there

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Managed a quick look just now, and that detached prom I spotted yesterday is still there, but the shape is much broader than before. It seems a bit further out too. It is joined by many regular proms southwards on the western limb. A few more can be seen on the east. Loads of fine detail on the disk as well

Keep watching it , looking at the latest SDO footage I would say it's just about to let go ....

nice! lots of activity yesterday, not sure there is going to be many oppotunities to see this today from this part of the UK. should be interesting as those active regions disappear around the limb.

I have just spotted it again. An amazing, near perfect semi-arc, in the shape of a thin quarter circle now links the detached prom back to the surface. Never seen such a long thin prom of such geometric perfection

A fainter detached prom is now visible northwards. The thin quarter circle seems to be fading

I got a minute of viewing in, having spotted a small but nice and blue gap. Two detached proms, a big faint prom. It looked to me like the "detached" prom from Friday was still hanging on for dear life

Wonder if the skies will clear up a little bit around 7pm our way?

EDIT: forgot to say, that was this morning, around 10am-ish.

Looks that way ...

Cannot see the detached prom anymore, but a lot of activity is going on on the western limb. Amongst several others, a magnificent arc is visible, a near perfect parabola.

Seriously weird-looking prom on the western limb spotted just now. It almost looks like a barrage of fireworks erupting from a single point on the limb. At least four strands of plasma seem to be streaming away from that point. Really spectacular.

Four detached proms this morning looking like a cluster of galaxies, also flaring activity in one of the ARs. 

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Cloudy here today, with a slim chance of a clear spell in the evening. Keep us posted!

[Peter Drew]

Overcast from 9am until 1pm but large clear patches now. The earlier detached proms are now diffuse and faint even with 105mm aperture. The flaring area has now died down. The main current interest lies with two smallish proms both topped by thin thread extensions threaded with beads of bright plasma which are rapidly changing shape and direction.
