Solar Imaging Session - November 30, 2011 (AR11363 Bright Flare & Huge Eruptive Prominences !!!)

The sky this morning is fair and seeing condition is also good. 2 huge eruptive prominences greeted me this morning together with a bright flare from the new AR11363 Sunspot Group in the SE limb . What a good way to spice up my day! I only managed to monitor the flare near its peak brightness and in less than 10 minutes, it started to fade till it is no longer visible :) A comparison flare development image is also included to show how it developed and fade from view. The huge dark filaments in the NW quadrant is still visible but is nearing the limb so more or less it will exit the NW in a day or two.
