Yes! Very nice indeed. Since I have white light and Ha scopes mounted on the same mount I took a moment to compare the two views. White light is nice with lots of sunspots (though not nearly as nice as through the Bogdan using Chuck's donated full aperture filter - which now has me very spoiled.). But then to the eyepiece of the Ha and such a contrast. It's funny how much can be going on right under our noses (or eyeballs in this case) and we never know it. For those unable to view in Ha today find current Ha views of the Sun here: http://halpha.nso.edu patrick On 23 Apr 2015, at 11:21, John M. Craig <jmcraig@xmission.com> wrote:
This has got to be the largest prominence complex I've ever seen. If you have the gear, be sure to take a look. It looks like a forest and is maybe 1/10 solar diameter at its highest section. It's spread out along maybe 15 to 20 degrees. The thing is just astoundingly huge. On the leading limb, there's some wispy prominences that reach as far away from the disc.
Definitely worth a look if you have the Ha gear.
