Prom Closeup and more Cycle 25 Activity - 27th June

The sun at first glance seems surprisingly quiet at the moment; this image is dominated by the nice arching prominence, however look to the centre of the image and there is a small brighter spot, this is a bright point in the latitudes we would expect cycle 25 activity.  Further to the right of this a small filament is also coexistent at the same latitudes.  Activity is there, it is only small scale and small field strengths but is there if you know where to look.  Taken with the Coronado SM90 double stacked with the Daystar Quark and the new Grasshopper 3 IMX174 camera.
