Huge Filaprom

[Solar B]

Just when you think there's not a lot going on I see a massive filaprom at about 3 o'clock (my orientation) 

May have be an earlier observation on the limb as a prom.

Filaprom ? - that sounds like in might be the the "smeared fillament" feature that I spotted during my very brief peek earlier, reported here:

Aha so that's what it is called a 'filaprom'!  Cheers Solar B

Googled the term, came across this

Should keep the DS users happy!

Indeed , when filaments are close

to the limb they can take on a noticable 3D

appearance and are best viewed as 

Peter suggests (DS)

Is that because of the increased surface feature contrast of the DS approach ?

(still on the lower slopes of my learning curve on HA solar here )

Basically yes John ... it's funny but ive

always been surprised at times at how

DS views offer an extra apparent 

depth.

I noticed this filaprom yesterday during a brief chance to get my scope on it.

That made up for having missed seeing it when it was a massive hedgerow in the days previous !

Lovely stuff.

Cool ... I was also surprised at how tall

or high it appeared !! not unlike a large 

wave of sorts.
