The Sun 25-6-08 8.38 UT and 16.37 UT

I literally had a two minute slot in the cloud to take a quick look at 8.38 UT today before rain and cloud closed in. Got eight afocals and hoped for the best as there was no time for a visual or written record. Late in the afternoon at 16.37 I had much better seeing and grabbed a few images of the disk, proms and filaments. Good to see some increased activity today with some larger proms on the east, west and south limbs with two clear filaments near the SW limb along with AR 999 putting on a final show with some plage and two thin curving AR filaments.
