 Halpha:

            
Lets start with
            the full disk shot, taken with the .5x Antares focal reducer.
            The large former naked eye sunspot can still be seen approacing
            the limb on the right.

            


            
Here is the prominence
            exposure, with the overexposed disk blacked out.

            


            
A few close ups.
            Since the seeing was so bad, I could only use the 2.5x powermate
            but still some nice structure around the sunspot can be seen.

            


            
Filaments on the
            disk, and a region that is not quite active enough for the formation
            of sunspot:

            


            
The sun is smiling
            at us:

            


            
Prom shot on the
            limb. Seeing is really fading fast!
