Post by Thierry Legault »

A quick look at the Sun this afternoon...to see a big prominence deploying itself more than 300 000 km above the solar surface! I just had time to take a few images before the return of coulds :o

Great catch Thierry! I was out about an hour after this big eruption due to a late clear sky. I did end up catching an M1.45 flare at AR3576 at least!

Interesting to see what happened to it around 3 hrs after I imaged it on the limb.

Lovely work.
