A prominence and mosaic
Its starting to get exciting now. Each week the new solar cycle is getting more and more active. Today whilst taking a look at Sol I noticed a lovely prominence and another new spot forming near AR11029. Just click on the links below for the image.
Prominence
Mosaic
Comments welcome

Bloody brilliant Paul,
Just how good do the proms look, do you reckon the prom in the foreground is looping all the way over and connecting with the prom on the limb, certainly looks like it?
Keep coming back to your proms image, mind you your mosaic is impressive but I just haven't seen anything to better this proms image, they are so well defined.
Excellent
Regards
Trevor

The columns all connect to a filament prominence which seems to go over the limb. These are hard to capture well, I have seen heaps of images by some of the solar greats but I still am yet to capture a really monster which looks like this.
thanks Trevor.

Your solar work is awesome Paul. Been peeking at your shots now and then. Inspiring.  What kind of gear do you use for this? Do you use a dedicated scope and camera or just filters?

Marc, there is information below each image but just to answer your question I have a 60mm Coronado Solarmax 60 at 0.5 angstroms and I use a 5x powermate with a lumenera skynyx 2-0 monochrome camera.
Thanks all for the comments.

Brilliant Paul!
What we call over this part of the world a "Filaprom". Since thyre both the same thing. The filament is a prom seen against the brighter solar surface. When they arch over against the dark sky aswell its spectacular. And this is one of best examples of an FP image Ive seen. Well done again.
We have flood alerts throughout the country now with a storm on the way sat/sun so please do keep us up to date with El Sol.

Great catch!!
Over here (UK) the weather has been absolutely terrible!! If it's not cloud, it's rain. Not helped by the low altitude of the Sun. Suffering solar withdrawal......
Hopefully the solar activity will continue to increase. Anyone taking white light images of the current sunspots????

Marvellous image Paul. What a corker. Question, when you look through your Solarmax 60, is that clear image of the prominence the view you actually see? What I mean is, Is it fainter, clearer, darker, hard to see, easy to see?

Robin on this occassion the prominence was actually brighter than the finished image. I could clearly see the prominence and the filament in place.
Some prominences are bright and some are faint. Many large ones are usually faint but your eye has a much higher dynamic range than the camera does and so each is easily seen.

That's the best I've seen of recent activity.
As the Beatles sang, "Here comes the sun".

Paul, that's an amazing image - the way it reaches up over the limb - it must be massive.
