Hi all, The skies are thick with moisture up here in Payson, so I didnt expect much from the sun today. But I did catch in process a big flare in progress, and along the limb some extraordinary prominences. The seeing was not quite optimal for using the 5x barlow on such a small aperture instrument, but with the details I was seeing I gave it a try anyway: http://www.schursastrophotography.com/solar/070311.html If you have an Halpha solar scope, you might take a quick look and see if its still there...
