It got bigger. I got out my SM40 at about 0h UT, and the southern
half of that prominence had simply erupted, and was making its way out
into space, I think. It was perhaps 200,000 km long--one of only a few
I have seen this year that were that long.
Anyone in east Asia catch the rest of it? I only had a minute or two
to look at it--one of the advantages of having a nice portable H-alpha
set-up at your disposal.
