It took me a while but I've got some pics of the wildly tall/wide proms from last week up if you care to take a look. These are unprocessed, uncropped shots taken by holding the camera up to the eyepiece--the camera's snout just happens to fit nicely into the eyecup. So, there's nothing special about any of them, but if you're curious/bored, take a look.

Here's a couple of the big prom from last week (one emphasizes the structure of the prominence group; the other more the face):

And from the next day when it was still impressive:

If you're really bored (or have to look at more because you can't believe how bad they look--or whatever), you can check this out (it has three sections somewhat arbitrarily grouping shots with more interesting stuff on the face of the sun, in prominences, or both).

I'm open to suggestions for processing and so on, but I don't know that I'll find the time so if you offer a suggestion, I do not advise holding your breath!
