Solar Imaging Session - July 10, 2008

Hello:

The sky this afternoon was partly clear so I setup my PST-Ha and scan the solar limb for some nice promnences. Initially, I wasnt able to see any prominences so I was about to packup but hesitated a bit and rescan the Sun again and guess what? I almost miss out a nice loop prominence which was a bit faint because of haze and thin clouds perhaps. As I setup for imaging, I was able to see another eruptive prominence just beside the loop prominence! So I quicikly image them both in one frame before clouds startr covering the Sun again :( The image quality is not that god but nevertheless, the 2 nice prominences are a good way to encourage me to image the Sun again :)
