AR 3654 is leaving the western limb for us in Australia.
Cloud marred the session yet again. The animation was clouded affected as you will see and PixInsight really can't fix that much interference.
I scraped together an hour and 49 minutes and then was totally clouded.
Capture from 2332UTC until 0121UTC
There was a nice Fila-Prom just north of the animation and also I got a quick look at the AR 3661 and 3666 group early on.

You did a great job with that animation despite the clouds. When I first watched the video I really didn’t see the effect of the clouds but now I can see it but it’s not really distracting. Love the rolling action in that prom in the active region.

Great animation and pictures, Ralph. The clouds were hardly noticeable.

Great work Ralph, it's good to see you got some imaging time. We were clouded out up her in Queensland.

I hardly noticed the clouds in the animation. I did notice the dark voids or bubbles in the prominence. Your stills look good too. I really like the color.

Thanks Ralph!
