NOTES:

Was out for a couple hours late this morning.  Nice prominences, a truly amazing filament and lots of spots!  Seeing surprisingly steady for 11:30(ish) AM.  Heard there was an M class flare earlier in the day.  Hoped to see some good activity and was not disappointed!  While observing visually through the Ha scope, a jet transited the sun.  One of these days, I’ll get the correct adapters to use my camera with the Ha scope.
