Details:
I was recording a long ribbon prominence when a smaller feature below it suddenly erupted. It was moving so fast I could watch it in real time. It looks like the blast might have extinguished the ribbon prominence. Checking the image scale, I estimate the speed of the blast front was 76,000kph or 42,000mph.
Coronado PST, 5x barlow and DMK21.
