Prom exploding from the sun

[Roy Challen]

NE limb, very bright, started 10mins ago.

Almost faded now, so maybe not a prom, flare? Either way, I hope someone caught it on camera.

You can see it on GONG looks like it came from the AR that's just round the limb.

Yeah it shows on GONG but it had faded by the time the pic went up, it was where the circle is.

Here's a rubbish but brighter view from my phone

Thick fog in Falmouth. Not looking great for tomorrow either.

I caught a "surge" just before 11am today that originated from the active area just beyond the limb.  It extended quite some distance at best and looked like the forked tongue of a snake.  My attention was raised on seeing a very bright point at this position, always something to keep an eye on as it is often the precursor of a dramatic event.     🙂

Peter, I did the drawing below using the PST between 8.50am and 9am.  Accounting for the different orientation of GONG and the PST, the proms I saw in the top right (SE Quad) might match the 'prom exploding from the sun'.  One of its elments had lifted off the surface.
