Although not sharp here are some Prominences from today with the Lunt 100 and 5x Powermate. Also one of the Active regions with my inverted negative. Once again lots of fast moving clouds but I needed a fix.

Hi Derek...
A nice set of images from your session. That bright 'ring' seems to be holding up over the past few days.

Re: Some Magnification Madness
Derek, I much prefer the prominences in their natural sharpness like this. Afterall, they are big clouds of plasma.
The one with the filament floating over the surface really looks like it does in the scope.
