Look like it's still a minimum? -- Joe --- On Mon, 6/15/09, Rodger C. Fry <rcfry@comcast.net> wrote: From: Rodger C.

Glad to hear that you made the effort and it turned out good.  I might have to try this tomorrow morning if it is still clear.

I took the PST out in the back yard a little while ago, to check the sun before it got too low and dipped behind the neighbor's trees.

Well, whatdya know!  A group of 3 little prominences on the limb.  A spike, a broad feather, and a thin tendril.  All three slowly morphed for the fifteen minutes I watched them.  My best views were with a 16mm Erfle and 12mm Konig, no Barlow.  No obvious active regions were noticed on the solar disk itself. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
