Yesterday’s large prominence was still there this morning, albeit very faint. I managed to track it over a period of around 4 hours. Out of interest, I have also attached an animated gif of same.

And then – –  –

Despite my forebodings the other day, look what turned up after being out all day today – – -!

Later (21:10 UT) :

From the images on the GONG web-site, it seems that this prominence was rapidly evolving, and reached its peak intensity at around 17:00 UT – just about the time I caught it. The beauty of solar observing and having a scope at instant readiness! I have to admit, however, that due to the Sun’s position, I had to forsake the window-sill in favour in the garage floor, pointing it through the open door!

Here are this morning’s prominences. Rather faint, but not without interest.

Judging by the GONG cameras, they have almost disappeared now (03:50 UT). Might be the last we will see for a while.
