John, your post makes me want to get a scope that is capable of viewing prominences/flares, etc. Sounds like quite a show the sun is putting on right now!

If you have the gear, be sure to take a look. It looks like a forest and is maybe 1/10 solar diameter at its highest section. It's spread out along maybe 15 to 20 degrees. The thing is just astoundingly huge. On the leading limb, there's some wispy prominences that reach as far away from the disc. Definitely worth a look if you have the Ha gear. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
