Quick question, are prominences more abundant when the sun cycle kick into activity or are they more omnipresent than sun spots?

Great capture once again.
Cheers,

Tony.

Very nice catch, Greg.:)

The vertical wisps and the accompanying loop are well captured. Good work, my friend.:)

There's a very long answer to that question, but the short one is that increased sunspot activity is accompanied by an increase in proms.
