Todays Large Prom

#1

Post by NGC 1365 »

Large complex prom, changes were obvious in minutes, this was through a Lunt LS100 H alpha scope at 204x magnification (Pentax XW 3.5mm). Seeing was excellent.

Thank you all for the likes and comments, and thanks for the APOD award. As it turns out, this prom ended up being a lot larger. See here from spaceweather https://www.spaceweather.com/. Have a look at the Global eruption on the sun image from yesterday.
