Post by ffellah »

Hello all: nice clear day today ! There was a medium sized triangular prom and twin vertical much longer fainter proms.I was out with the Solarmax90 and enjoyed some good time in the sun.

Hope you had a nice sunny weekend too.

Excellent photography Franco. Your bottom full disc color image shows it very close to what I could see visually today. The prom looks exact. Faint but visible. I could not pick out the second filament though. I was viewing through high thin clouds. that didn't help.
