Description

Seeing - awful! Wind - awful! Clouds - awful!
But thank goodness for lucky imaging! This captured 16:29 Utc.

The left prom was a bright flat pancake then erupted. I've never seen such a large structure grow so quickly.
I was observing visually. It was stunning to watch.

Wow!

I hastily set up my camera but it was already starting to wane.

Really hard to balance this image. Hazy sky didn't help with the "black" space.
But I got something and that's what matters.
