Wow this is the best prominence yet.
Awesome work Chuck! I had saw something in the news last night about a lot of activity on the sun and it made me wonder if you would be capturing some of it? And you answered my unasked question. 
This is super cool. It's like someone punctured the sun in several spots and fire is escaping.

Neat to see images of this kind of activity.

This one is big. It was really faint also. I had to boost up the gain to see it good without over exposing. The faint ones are the best to photograph. You can see all the swirling. the bright ones look like solid blobs no detail.

I've taken many over the years and this one is in the top 5. We were cloudy the last few days so this worked out great.Awesome work Chuck!

Chuck,
Wow, that's an amazing capture. Based on past scale you have shown with the Earth for reference, this thing has to be just HUGE! Amazing!
