Solar Surface and Proms from 6-22-24

So I'm finally caught up as this is the last of my 'old' images. The next solar project will be within the same week as collection which occured today, 😉. These were taken a mere week ago when I was checking out the Quark after cleaning it. I had an oops moment when I forgot to remove the plastic cover during an outreach event. Because the Quark is installed at the eyepiece the full photon force of the sun hits the cap and vaporizes (burns a hole on it) it. Fortunately, it still worked well enough for the outreach event. I did contact DayStar and explained that there was a little film on the diagonal (which I cleaned) and the Quark. She said it happens often and it was safe to use 91% isopropyl alcohol and Q-tips for cleaning which I promptly did.

The first image shows well defined active regions along with a large almost continuous prominence. The second image has less active regions on the surface but a very distinct and well defined prominence.
