The sky had diffuse cirrus cloud cover today; nonetheless, I took a shot at the sun.
The H-alpha image showed a large loop prominence along the eastern limb. There was lesser activity along the western limb. The brightest plage is around active region AR4100.
The sunspot image shows six active regions – five of which have AR designations. The sixth is just coming into view near the eastern limb.
In the gallery below, we see the aforementioned, eastern limb loop prominence in two formats. First, there is the cropped H-alpha image, and adjacent is an image produced by over-exposing the solar disk to bring out the faint details of the prominence itself.
The next gallery shows a similar comparison image pair of the western limb prominences.
