Title: Promtastic Monday
Post by: markt on August 15, 2011, 08:26:55 pm
Lots of nice things to see on the sun today - no spots, but plenty of filaments and proms.  Hopefully the proms will hang around...

Very interesting image mark, especially the eruption on the left edge!

Well done Mark, the proms may hang around but I’m sure the clouds will hang around for longer  :( should be clearing by the weekend though  ;D

Thanks Richard and Anton.  Yes, looks like the weather may well be improving by the weekend, I hope so we're due it!

Here's a close up pick of what has been recently designated AR1271 as it came over the limb...
