August 13, 2014: Fairly quiet on the sun in H-alpha today, but some nice filaments

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Just had a look at the sun with the little LS35. Prom-wise the sun was fairly quiet, with a few showing northwards on the western limb. There are many filaments criss-crossing the disk, and on is on the western edge of the disk, so it might extend beyond the limb shortly. A very large filament shows up on the southern part of the disk, and the sunspot to the northeast is still going strong. Many smaller filaments are visible too, and a bright area of plage is possibly one to watch, low on the eastern side of the disk.

Thanks for the update.

Clouds and rain here ...

Same here now, but some blue patches give me hope that I might be able to see a bit more later

Just had another look. The filaments near the western limb have crept closer to it, but otherwise no big changes on the disk
