Solar Imaging Session - October 12, 2011 ( 8 Sunspot Groups and Large Eruptive Prominences ! )

The sky this morning was partly clear and seeing condition was good at the start of my solar observation and imaging session. The huge eruptive prominence gets even bigger to my surprise! Wow! I was expecting the huge prom to have subsided already on its 3rd day :) There are 8 sunspot groups right now on the solar disk with the latest small AR11318 sunspot group which I'm expecting to be officially designated. Aside from the huge prom in the NW limb. Another large prominence can also be seen in the NE limb as well :) AR11314 sunspot group is very active as it shows small flare inside its core. Large dark filaments are also visible beside the AR11312 and AR11314 sunspot groups.

After I image AR11312 and AR11313 sunspot groups in white light, seeing condition starts to deteriorate as it tends to soften the image a bit and some clouds also passed in front of the Sun even in whole disk white light image.
