While sunspot action is low right now, we do have a nice one coming on to the limb just today. We will have to see how this one grows. Nearly all spots lately have been super tiny pores, so this will be a welcome sight!
The stars of the show today was the amazing prominences on the limb. Some were shaped unlike anything Ive seen before and you too will see how different they are.
Seeing was monsoon quality - about 1.5/5 and not too great.
Halpha:
Lets start with the full disk below, and you can see the nice proms on the edges. Also not at upper left on the disk a large diffuse filament area, that was a nice prom on the limb when it came over the disk as well. It is now fading. The new sunspot is at lower left.
Close ups at 3x. Here is the active region which is located on the lower left of the disk above. Not quite a sunspot yet, but gettting more complex.
Massive dark area on disk is a degraded filament. It is spreading out now, but still visible.
New sunspot on limb is very distorted, so we cant tell quite yet what is coming. Looks promising!
Proms at 3x. This prom is very unusual. Looks like artwork. Very much like a brushed rendering.
Large loop prom on the limb.
A good sized more classic looking prom.
