Solar Imaging Session - March 31, 2013 (Huge Eruptive Prominence & AR11711 Sunspot Group !!!)

The sky this morning is clear but seeing condition is not good. There is a huge northern eruptive prominences as well as 2 huge long dark filaments also on the northern hemisphere. A new large sunspot group is emerging from the eastern limb that might be designated AR11711 Sunspot Group in the days to come. Another nice group AR11704 Sunspot Group can be seen on the NW quadrant. I was also able to do a white light high resolution shot of AR11711 Sunspot Group but the image is not that good due to poor seeing but one can see from the image that this is a large group and will show more prominently in the days to come after it come around the Wilson Effect.
