Thanks, Tom. I've been following the sun with a Lunt LS60 THa/B600 for about the last week, and the hits just keep on coming. Filaments are more pronounced today, in three zones. My views almost exactly match elements of the Learmonth, Big Bear, and Mauna Kea images on the NSO site. Even at B600, some great surface detail is emerging. At the beginning of the week there was quite a bit of prominence activity, not so much now as it hits us in the face.

You can find where to look by downloading the Big Bear image at this site. http://halpha.nso.edu/ Tom -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
