Solar Imaging Session - December 12, 2010 (Huge Loop Prominence !!! )

The sky this morning is another frustration as clouds continues to haunt my observations and Imaging sessions this whole week. Add to that was the "malfunction of sorts" of my ATK-1HS II webcam which suddenly cant preview any images to my surprise! I panicked a bit as I was able to see a huge looped prominence daring me to image her as more clouds pass over the Sun's disk! So I quickly got my backup Philips Toucam 740K webcam and started to calibrate and focus on the prominence with difficulty :(

Nevertheless, I was still able to image the huge prominence as well as departing AR11131 and AR11133 Sunspot Groups which are inching closer and closer to the NW limb.
