The Sun 6-5-08 - Many active proms

Active region 993 (SC24 high latitude) continues to underwhelm being barely more than a faint bright spot on the sun's disk and not producing any significant spots. Meanwhile the prominences are once again predominantly on the west side and very active. A fun day on the Cloudy Nights Solar Forum with Les Cowley producing sketches more or less synchronised with submissions of Pete Lawrence's high resolution videocam images. The sketches were very accurate when compared with the photos.
