This morning I saw something I've never seen in the PST before. A detached piece of prominence is suspended above the solar limb. There is a nice little limb prominence below it, but the detached piece is floating above it with empty space between them. Dim, very large, but definitely there. Wish I could have seen this an hour or three prior, and watched it detach and float away from the limb. This is really neat and I'm going to be watching for this phenomenon more often. I tried a head drape today (big dark towel) and it really helped with the PST. The seeing isn't as good as one would expect with the clear skies, so I'm going to try again when the sun climbs a bit. Too, there could be a rising heat plume from a house along my line of sight at the moment.
