Solar Ha 4/7/16

[Moonshane]

Managed a quick lunchtime session and there's a lot of activity in terms of filaments as per the last few days with just a couple of decent prominences. Used the 100mm PSTAL mod with 17.3mm Delos at 58x.

Conditions reasonably good but a thin high cloud frustrated a little from time to time.

Nice sketch. I hope the new stuff appearing on the south-eastern limb provides some interesting activity as the large set of filaments is moving west

Another lovely sketch. Let's hope some spots are on their way.

Cheers guys. I often wish I had more time but it's always a rush, especially with intermittent cloud etc.

Pretty much mirrors my experience this morning. Seeing not quite as good as recently, no doubt due to the warmer temperature, I normally have best results around 6pm but no chance today. The active area coming into view at one time threw up a few small (about the size of Africa!) globules of plasma but soon died down again, looking forward to seeing what tomorrow might bring.
