A little bit of today's Sun - Loop Prom

Post by mattwastell »

Hi all
It has been a while since I last viewed & imaged the Sun.
I came home from golf to see a post flare loop prominence on the Western limb via GONG. I got in a small view & a few frames before it vanished - still it was great to see.
Have a great weekend all.

Nice! I'm glad someone caught that one. I had clouds come in before I saw that on GONG.

Matt:
Very nice images, at least you saw the sun.
I have been clouded by hurricane Katia since the 6th of this month.
Best regards,
Eric.
