I've only just figured out how to increase the size of my images on this forum!

Here's a BIG hydrogen alpha image I took yesterday, captured with my trusty old PST Ha scope, with simple afocal imaging via a smartphone.

Yes, not much prominence activity at the moment.

Lots of surface detail (filaments/plages) showing up when I look through the scope, but they don't stand out well when I try to photographed them.

Fingers crossed that this cycle picks up.

Here's an interesting link to a site for Hydrogen Alpha activity throughout the day, with regular updates from around the world:
