Details:
The spots continue to progress, and there was also a decent prominence this morning. In H-alpha, when a prominence is outside the disc it appears bright. When it is in front of the disc it appears as a filament, and is dark. Occasionally, you can see a prominence extending to a filament, something known as a "filaprom". You can see this effect on the 08:22 image. I haven't seen one of these for a while. I followed it for 3 hours or so.
