July 16, 2014: Some nice proms visible this morning

Just had a peek through the LS35 and some lovely proms. One big group is visible in the west, but a really nice one is visible northwards on the eastern limb. Something is lurking beyond that limb, it seems.

yes very interesting just had a quick look, PST definitely going to work with me!

Sounds good Michael, I saw two huge proms late yesterday afternoon, I wonder if they have developed?

Looks like it could be a good solar day today!!!

There were some nice ones yesterday evening, but the ones on the west had a very different shape, and I thought they were further south. The one on the east is new to me

Cheers for posting. Will have a look.

Just managed another look now and the proms are fantastic!

One about 3 o'clock looks like a flag with part of it billowing away from the main ejection.

Further three about 10 O'clock, quite chunky. 

There is also a very faint looping prom above these at 11 o'clock - absolutely massive but very faint!!

Just got back from supermarket shopping, (such joy) getting cloudier by the minute so going out now.

Quick Dave, get out there!!! 

Probably the best proms I've seen since my solar scope purchase back in March. 

Just watched the flag like one descend down to form a loop and there is now another loop above it, amazing today!!

I'll have a look again when I get home. I hope I can even do some imaging

Had another look just now. The big proms spotted earlier are still going strong. To the north of one on the western limb there are several almost detached strands of plasma, much fainter than the main prom. The one on the east is also great. It now resembles a mast with a torn sheet blowing in the wind. To its north two low arches can be seen. Very interesting to see

There are also a few thin proms far south (almost polar) and some filaments, in particular a large curved one to the north east of the centre of the disk
