Re: Big Solar Prominence in H-alpha!
Doing it with the gong image gets it closer to your figure. We are still pretty good for back yard. A quick look in the history seems to say typical can go to 65000. The record is 500000. I wish I had that graduated EP like you have. I once had one but have no idea where it is now. They seem rarer than woodpecker lips.

Re: Big Solar Prominence in H-alpha!
I see it on Gong. Their image is a bit better than mine!

Re: I estimate 100,000 km in height for the morning's prom.
Maybe someone on Spaceweather.com will weigh in.

Roy what do you figure? 62,137 miles high. Now that is using a scales superimposed on the sun as a guide but I think I am close.

Re: I estimate 100,000 km in height for the morning's prom.
Visual estimate but we are actually fairly close considering the tools. Attached is the scale I have. I think you are more accurate with the graduated EP

Thanks Kent. That gives me a third way to estimate height. Bearing in mind that photocopies never come out to original scale and computer images may or may not scale. I adjusted the image to fit my graduated guide and used a divider to check the height of the prom against the spread of the divider. I get again get around slightly less that 69,000 miles.

Here is my rather crude attempt to capture the solar prominence with my 20-year-old H-alpha scope. The visual view far exceeds this rather so-so picture. I was trying to balance the telescope with a heavy camera using eyepiece projection with an old Edmund Scientific 25mm eyepiece.

We estimate very close in height. I did not do the length.
