Used hydrogen alpha scope to observe Sun from Otago Uni.

12.30 Dark fine thread-like area seen stretching towards limb.
12.35 Dark area became more defined and darker.
12.50 Beginning to fade.

Tuning filter showed bright area or center of dark area presumably due to doppler shift of dark area (prominence?).
