Hi All
Hi Frank…
Two of the biggest prominences I have seen in a long time, located on the S-E limb disk.

Weather conditions: Clear Sky, seeing 2-3/5, Alt=28d.
Sketch was taken with digital tools in the photoshop cs.
Thank you for looking.

Hey!
I send you an observation of the sun seen in H-alfa. The sun was seen between drifting clouds.
There was most activity near the south-western limb. This sketch is raw and directly made at
the telescope.
I was home to a friend with a 50 mm refractor just outside Trondheim city, Norway.
I used white paper, graphite and colour pencil.
This is my first try to sketch the sun seen in H-alfa.
Hope you like it!
Best wishes from Per-Jonny Bremseth.

Media HB graphite pencil on plain white paper
Additional information:
This sketch of the sun was completed the day before Active Region 11092 erupted with a C class flare that blew the dark snaking filament near the meridian right off the sun and toward earth. This eruption was responsible for the aurora that have been on display in northern latitudes over the last couple nights of August 3 and 4.
I made the sketch while observing the sun through my Lunt Solar Systems pressure tuned 60mm Hydrogen Alpha scope, and a Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom eyepiece. The sketch took approximately 30 minutes to complete, at which time the sun had an altitude of 47 degrees above the horizon with an azimuth of 98 degrees. Seeing was average, due to high humidity and passing clouds, however, there were enough moments of steady seeing to allow for fine detail to be observed within the active region (AR). AR 11092 contains a very dark and sizable sunspot that is visible even in the hydrogen alpha wavelength. In addition, there are a couple thin filaments on the following (east) side of the AR.

It appears that I missed seeing a dual pair of CMEs (coronal mass
ejections) on the Sun today. It took at place at 1154 UT. My session
began at 1853 UT. Fantastic footage of it can be seen here by SOHO
coronagraph.

AR 1084 still looks like a spiral galaxy (or a chicken eye with the wide
yellow/pink skin wrinkled around the pupil). A fantastic
filament/prominence reached over the limb in the SW. The filament was
thick and fibrous reaching out to the west and on either end, long and
slender.
Riser, my regular solar buddy, aka 14-year old Rhodesian Ridgeback, took
a pretty hard fall today and had to watch me observe from a distance in
the comfort of the shade at the top of the hill. He’s resting
comfortably now on a very thick duvet. Poor ol’ boy.

The seeing is not good but i make an observation and i see many thinks.First of all a great detached prominence at the NW of the disk. My goodness she`s great. I see one only sunspot on the region 1081 and a marvelous filament like a hook near the region 1080.The disk has to much small Q.R.Filaments in different shapes.
Used my coronado maxscope SM 60mm D.S 0.5A Ha on EQ5 base together with eyepiece Nagler 9mm.
