For those with solar scopes, there is a huge looping prominence forming on the limb right now 948am, thursday. Worth a look.

Hi Paul - thanks for the heads up - I got home from work at about 4pm and saw your post and got in a handful of AVI's before I lost it - a nice view indeed.

And in a first for amateur astronomy...At 1025 postie arrived with a new eye-piece (thanks Morton). At 1025 + 5 seconds (couldn't wait for first light tonight) the EP is attached to my Lunt and there was the magnificent prominence.

This probably means that Central Queensland is going to suffer with a prolonged wet season. Sorry
