Solar Imaging Session - June 18, 2015 (Huge Looped Prominence !)

The sky this morning in Baguio City was partly cloudy but we can still some sunlight. I went to ALPer John Nassr's observatory for another joint solar imaging session with him. John has already replaced his broken Coronado SM60 with a new SM90 with BF15 Ha filter that was again installed on his trusty AP127 f/8 refractor on Losmandy GM11 mount. John was initially reluctant to image that morning because of the high percentage of passing clouds but I urged him that we still proceed the session. As we were discussing, I glimpse again on the Sun and WOW! The SW limb has a huge eruptive prominence that seems to be ejecting itself out as the last glimpse I did on the prominence while we were discussing was about 5 minutes ago! John was also surprised with the quick progression of the eruption and he quickly run our solar setup asap and we were able to see capture the looped eruptive prominence from that group in progress in less than 8 minutes!!! Talk about fast eruption indeed! Unfortunately, our images we that perfect because of the fast passing clouds thus the limited seeing condition but we were both elated by the session!!! Aside from the eruptive prominence. we were able to capture also the big AR2371 Sunspot Group as it is emerging from the NE limb. AR2367 Sunspot Group is also nice to look at but pales compared to AR2371 :) We weren't able to do CaK wavelength as requested by me because of the cloudy session. Hopefully, my next trip we will be able to do so.
