Missed by "that much" ...
We were watching the images from Learmonth on the GONG site this morning and saw a massive prom erupting on the NE limb. It was still quite cloudy but it seemed worth trying to catch this prom so we set up anyway. We caught a couple of glimpses of the prom live through cloud but had no chance to adjust the scope or image it. By the time there was a break it had completely gone ... amazing! GONG image at 12:16 local time shows the prom at its highest. Our image at 13:24 local time and it is gone.
Close up of the south east limb showing ARs 3045, 3047 and 3048. As they say, better luck next time!
