Most of the prominences in that area are changing quite a bit. Can be seen in H-alpha and can be seen from the start of the day. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Mon Nov 23 02:21:26 GMT 2015 Used the new log gui a bit today. It was a bit hard for me to remember to change the log type before typing anything, otherwise it'd wipe what you just wrote. I'll have to try it a bit more later this week to see how start up goes and if i can get use to it. ___end___
