Today's Full Disc & Filament/Plage/Proms on Limb | 150mm HA | Feb 15th 2018

Post by MalVeauX »

Heya,

Forecast was terrible, I missed that beautiful huge prom the other day due to weather. Today I had a chance to do a little imaging, but the big features are gone. There are some smaller prominences on the limb and a nicely forming filament and plage area near the limb. No other spots or major features. But the filament area is fleshing out rather rapidly, so maybe it will form something?
