Description

The sky was white with a high haze - I needed to increase gain and exposure beyond what is typical.
I decided to leave the disk bleached white - it gives a sense of how faint these prominences can be against the full power of the sun.

I'd estimate the prom to be 40,000 Km high - 6x the size of the Earth.
