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!
It would help enormously if we could stop the Earth rotating – – –
This is a great prominence. However I am shocked that you have abandoned your position at the window in favour of the door – what is the world coming to!
