Solar Imaging Session - December 6, 2010 (Huge Eruptive Prominence & Dark Filament !!! )

The sky this morning is clear and seeing is fair. I finally got to image the Sun both in Ha and White Light wavelength. The huge Dark Filament that was visible yesterday is still beautiful and adding some more touch is a huge eruptive prominence beside the dark filament which can be seen in the SE limb!

Of course not to be left out on the Sun is the big circular AR11131 Sunspot Group which shows a nice symmetrical umbra and penumbra structure. New AR11133 is near the Eastern limb but quite smaller in size compare to AR11131. AR11132 Sunspot Group is inconspicious and boring with only a pair of small pores that constitute the group.

Hopefully, I can still monitor again the Sun tomorrow to see if the long dark filament will snap or still continues to stretch further in length ..........
