A Noteworthy Prominence, 2005/12/18

While using my Coronado PST and Vixen 8-24mm Zoom LV Series Eyepiece this afternoon, I noted a fairly impressive prominence on the Sun's leading limb. It resembled a narrow triangle.

Solar imager extraordinaire Greg Piepol's shot of the prominence appears at http://www.sungazer.net/121805.html

It's the one in the upper right quadrant.

I loved the animation (http://www.spaceweather.com/swpod2005/19dec05/favre1.gif) featured on Spaceweather.com. Piepol's image is marvelous as well.
