July 3, 2014: Big prom just popped up

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Working from home at the moment as one of the kids has had his final day at primary school yesterday. Had the scope outside just a while ago and noted few proms: one tall, ghostly one near the north polar region, one V-shape westwards, and an interesting ridge on the eastern limb. Lots of sunspots in the east as well. I just went for a another look, and a huge prom is now sticking out of the eastern limb, at an angle of roughly 40 degrees with respect to the limb. Intermittent cloud means I will have to look again in a while, but will report any developments

Had two more glimpses. About 30 minutes ago the prom was still going strong, developing a bright knot which seemed to be sagging towards the surface. Looking again just now shows little sign of the prom, just a few faint wisps and strands. Short-lived event this time
