Loop Proms

[Solar (Ralph Smith)]

Missed most of the action because of cloud, but managed a bit of Data.
Wished The sun was out 45 minutes earlier as when I got the second break the large loop prom was over.
Image No 3 is first light with ASI120mm.
Having teething troubles with it.

Your third pic is exactly what I saw through my SM90 this morning Ralph, I couldn't believe my eyes, I haven't seen this effect before. Great capture by the way.

This active regions has produced 3 x class flares so far. I really hope it can hang on a bit to face up to us. Nice loops captured Ralph. I got one last year myself.

On ya Ralph - the AS1120mm looks promising!
I got some loops with the second / third pop - great to see!
