Huge proms 20th

[Floater]

Some impressive proms this morning on SE limb near the large AR. In fact, the farthest south prom is very large indeed.

Off to get the Quark on 'em ...

Good luck Gordon, 100% cloud here at the moment.

[Gazabone]

Same here in Cornwall damnut, wall to wall thick cloud

[David Smith]

With that new group close to the limb and a few other regions due to round the limb, I'm not surprised.

Just need the cloud to shift now so we can all get a look.

Still I cloudy here so no chance of a peak. Good luck with the Quark.

Just got my first view of the day, very impressive proms!

It is a very good set of proms. Hope to get home early to do some imaging

[Pete Presland]

Good luck no chance of seeing any action here

Saw them on GONG, only seeing clouds here

[David Smith]

Yep, grizzly here too. Best I can hope for is not getting wet and even that looks unlikely

[Ibbo!]

even if its a glimspe its worth a go today

[Davey-T]

CO is saying maybe clearing a bit around 6.00pm so fingers crossed, proms looking really impressive on GONG.

I got 45secs and its good

yup sure is an impressive display just got a 15 min gap in the cloud ,see them when you can!

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Just had another look, and it's getting better and better. The tree proms are growing a bit taller, but the prom to their north is growing a lot more active, showing thin strands of plasma towards the south. The low arc has become much more substantial. Something big is turning our way.

[Ibbo!]

had a small window of thinner cloud

very poor images will appear later if they manage to escape

[Luke]

Just had a look on Gong. Lovely! The new AR is shaping up nicely?

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

The new AR looked very good. No chance to image the action, alas

[Floater]

Always good to learn something is coming our way, Michael.

The weather has returned to type here - uniform, dull, boring grey - and no chance of seeing any late sun. But I have high hopes for tomorrow (!).

As you wrote earlier, a fairly quiet disc, but I can live with that if the limb continues to put on a show like today's. :-))

Blue skies!

Phew, that's a relief.  After a day of toil I got home and managed to get my first view of the day at 4.50pm.  I'd seen other folk's reports throughout the day and was feeling very jealous!  At first I was observing through thin cloud for quite a while, though I still had a good view with my Lunt 60mm DS.  At about 5.25pm the Sun came into a clear patch, and WOW, what a beautiful sight.  Those proms were a sight for sore eyes, and some excellent surface detail.  You couldn't have better proof of how dynamic and changeable the Sun is than when comparing yesterdays early morning view with this evenings, fabulous.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Glad you managed to catch those proms

[Pig]

It makes a change for Gordon to get the best of the weather, excellent news  Still no sun in my neck of the woods, tomorrows forecast is looking promising though

[Pete Presland]

Managed a very brief view yesterday evening they certainly looked impressive still.

Looking better today, lots of high slow moving cloud ATM but forecast to clear, proms still there on GONG.

Clear outside, so may well have a lunchtime session
