Heads up: Huge prom on the northern limb right now!

Just took the Coronado SolarMax-II 60mm for a spin during my morning tea break, and there is a huge prominence high up on the northern limb of the sun. It looks like two huge, near linear flames emanating from the disk, the right-hand one a lot bigger than the left-hand. There is quite  bit of other activity in the form of smaller proms along the  western limb, a couple of sunspots, and a scattering of plage areas and filaments on the disk. Well worth a look. Pity I do not have imaging gear at work

Yes, seen it yesterday and today through my newly repaired PST. Beautiful!

Just had another look, and it is still going strong
