Lets start with the full disk, you can see a big flare in progress on the left as a bright ring next to the sunspot. And look at those Polar Proms! very rare to see these. This is with the 0.5x Antares focal reducer to get the full disk.
Next, we put in the 3x klee barlow, and remove the 0.5x focal reducer. So these close ups are 6x larger than the full disk image. The flaring had stopped by now, but you can see a lot of detail in the area of this spot!
Here is a spot on the limb that showed some remarkable details as well.
Here I offset the big spot group, so I can get the filament to the lower right in the same shot.
For these prominence images, the gamma was set for 150, and suns disk massively overexposed to show the faint proms on the limb. This shot shows one with an amazing shape!
Another nearby prom on the same limb is more rocket shaped
And look at this - one in the polar regions! I have not seen this very often.
And yes another on the opposite pole was seen as well. Very unusual!
