 The
            group of sunspots moving across the disk had minor flaring today,
            and one very nice brush shaped prom on the limb with tons of
            tiny details.

 Halpha:

            
The Full disk
            with the 0.5x Antares focal reducer to get the whole sun in one
            shot. The group of sunspots is flaring slightly here.

            


            
At the edge
            of the disk a few small proms, but at the bottom we can see a
            magnificent brush shaped prom!

            


            
Pulling out
            the reducer and installing a klee 3x shortie barlow yeilds 6x
            from the above frames. The big spot group has a lot of white
            plage with some possible C type flaring.

            


            
I liked the
            intricate detail on the limb edge here.

            


            
The other
            spot group is interesting in halpha but has no major sunspots
            inside

            


            
A very small
            spot as well.

            


            
nice filaments
            on this part of the limb
