There were 2 large prominences on the Sun and one large sunspot (so I didn't bother with a whole sun image today).

I'm slowly working my way through the data I collected to see if any will process ok.

Here's the first one:

Great captures Chris, some nice prom action at the moment.

Thanks Gus. Yes, I've only had the scope for a short time, so this week was the first time I was able to "see" them. Today though was pretty spectacular for the size and details.
