Re: Today's SUN (20120825) | NEW high lat AR

I didn't notice that faint large prom at all in my doublestacked Coronado 90. If I would have took the time to view in single stack I almost certainly would have seen it. Thanks for the surprise, Pedro!

Is winter observing totally out of the question for you Ivan? You live in Russia, right? I know it's very cold in some parts of Russia in winter. And then there is the issue of the low sun.

I bet that's a really nice scope. You usually seem to do single stack concentrating on prominences it seems. A 180mm scope in good seeing will far outperform anything I have. You should get outstanding views of the limb spicule layer.
