June 27th - Nice Filaprom and Filaments on E Limb

[paulastro]

A quick session between 6.08 to 6.32 am.  Best prominences in the East where there was a nice filaprom and some nice filaments coming into view.   Single frame using Lunt 60 DS and Olympus E-M10, taken at 6.11 am, 1/30 sec at 500 asa.

It's all happening in that area isn't it,  looking forward to seeing it later (hopefully)

Very nice. Interesting area moving into view. No luck here, alas

[Mark at Beaufort]

Thanks Paul for the 'heads up' I will have a look later. As you say some interesting areas to the East.

Very nice disk Paul. I hope the activity heralds a new AR visible in WL.

Nice early bird images Paul, looks like some nice filaments coming around, thanks for the view.

Thanks Pete.  Fingers crossed you get a view later, very dull here now, that might be it for the day.

Thanks Michael.  Lets hope it's a nice strong AR coming into view - though weather-wise the next few days look rather challenging up here.

Thanks Dave, just checked the Met weather map and you might possibly have a slot around 7pm if you can get the sun at that time.  I think it will be touch and go.

Yes, looks possible later, will set up ready if / when the rain stops.

Lovely images as always Paul. I am hopeful of a quick peek before the England game. Wish I'd brought my scope to work now as it's reasonable outside albeit in brief spells :0(

Massive coronal ejection lining up to nuke our communications systems just to add to the turmoil...

Good luck tomorrow morning David,  Don't tell anyone, but it's a similar forecast here! 

[paulastro]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.  I have to admit, I'm quite excited myself now about what may be 'round the corner'.  The only thing is it puts the pressure on to try and make sure you get a view every day for the next few days to see what it might actually be!

Good luck everyone, I hope if I'm clouded out that all those people who do see it are good enough to post their images here on SGL so at least I can see what I'm missing!

Nice images  Its about time something comes around the limb, 8 days with blank Sun the last 3 weeks.
