Solar Imaging Session - August 30, 2012 (Numerous Huge Dark Filaments !!!)

The sky this morning is partly clear and seeing condition is ok. There are numerous large dark filaments on the Sun today that are located in the SE limb as well as near the SW quadrant. The SW filament is a sight to observe as it shows a beautiful arching dark filament while the one in the SE limb huge wide dark filament has started to enter in to the SW quadrant thus missing the FilaProm which was visible yesterday :( Prominences today was small and inconspicious as well as the sunspot groups that were visible on the Sun. There are 4 small sunspot groups today. I was able to do a single white light high resolution shot of AR11553 Sunspot Group but I could only manage to image it a moderate resolution as clouds started to interfere with my imaging session thus missed the chance to image the group at higher magnification :( Better luck again tomorrow :0
