It's all about the proms today on the sun. For a "quiet" sun, this is one monstrous group of proms.

Close up Ha images taken with 72ED, Solar Scout Quark and ASI178MM.

There was actually a few other notable features but they paled into insignificance compared to the big one.

Nice set of images - at least the prom has given us something to focus on.

Cheers,

Thanks John. Maybe as this prom is on the eastern limb it may rotate onto the disk with some impressive features to view in the next few days. Here's hoping :)
Normally our main consideration is not having clouds but we'd also now like to add that a reduction in wind would be helpful :)
