Nice shots. I was just admiring the big prom through a sizeable gap in the clouds with a couple of PhD students. For some it was the first time they had a look in H-alpha, and they were very impressed

Thanks Charl for the 'heads up' this morning. Its now clear in Hereford so I have just looked at this magnificent Prom - its big. I bought a 25mm Fujiyama Ortho at IAS last week on my way to a weeks holiday - first day back home so first outing for this EP. Setting up the PST + DS + Fujiyama gave a very sharp whole disc - not only the big Prom but a nice filament plus 2 smaller filaments towards the south of the disc. In addition about 6  smaller 'roundish' filaments towards the northern end. really excellent view. I also used my normal TeleVue 8-24 zoom for a closer look.

Just looked again and there a brightish small Prom that seems to be lifting off the south-east limb at about 130 degrees.

thanks Peter, that bad mate ?, its 100% here now. charl.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks MG, hope you have clear mate. charl.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Michael, I'm impressed too mate, its a big in. hope we get chance tomorrow because it looks to be coming round the limb at a angle so theres could be more to see hopefully. clear skys, charl.

[xtreemchaos]
