Thanks for the heads up @paulastro. Got a quick look through a hole in the clouds! Quite something! Biggest one I've seen by far!

Just tried imaging with my quark, no luck so started a thread. Visually looked good.

Thanks for the heads up... Just had a quick look with the pst... I held my phone on the eyepiece for this, a bit naff but serves to show its size..... 

[Pete Presland]

Just looking at it now, biggest i have seen for ages

Wow that's a monster. Don't own a solar scope  but always scrounge a look at star parties.

That is incredible. 

As soon as I get home I'm walking into the kitchen and kicking that refrigerator I had to buy instead of a solar scope!

Got a look at it this morning, before the clouds came. It's certainly the largest prom I've seen.

Is it still there? Might manage a look after work.

Yes, still there Stu, although GONG shows it as fading. Grab a look while it lasts - it's certainly very impressive.

Watched it today at half hour intervals as it seemed to be lifting off slowly.  Somewhat fainter this afternoon by 6pm but still large and very complex.  I noted earlier that one end of the prom appeared to be tethered to a point inboard of the limb as their was a short filament at that position, even if it was just coincidental it certainly produced a 3D effect with the other end of the prom having continued over the visible edge.
