Prom alert!!!

[DaveK]

Two magnificent sets of proms this morning - if you're lucky enough to have the sun, get watching and imaging!

Indeed - the one on the SW limb is exceptionally bright - looks like the sort that might "lift off" (turn into a coronal mass ejection) but timing is very unpredictable.

Do watch it if you have clear skies ... I got a quick look but the skies are now clouding over 8-(

Just wish I had the equipment to look

The SW one seems to be changing very rapidly, but I think I've missed most of the action... I saw a medium-sized very bright loop which quite changed over 20 minutes between cloud gaps.

Still, the NE one is still nice to look at.

Here's my image of The Beast (SW) taken at 0937 UT this morning (March 19th) - the mono version is "raw" & shows just how bright the prom was at that stage!

[DaveK]

Excellent, that really captures the early stage superbly!

Was lucky to catch the SW prom inbetween the cooking duties (clear skies all day in London ). Amazing, it developed from Brian's shot into a giant question mark at least 3 times the size of the photo shot.

And after another 20 min when I wanted to show it to the wife it was gone. The speed of these proms must be, well fast.

I definitely have to get myself some sort of snap shop equipment for my Lunt.

Amazing image.

Great shot.

I vaguely remember some bright yellow orb in the sky.....
