Bolted up the point-and-shoot, while using the CeMax 25mm eyepiece...
There are prominences all around the limb.

Did some web searching so that I was clear about terminology. Found a couple of good sites...
Lots of filaments. One very large filament in the north-east quadrant. A small thin filament in the north-west zone, like a stretched out T.
There are active regions on the surface and dark filaments clearly visible to the naked eye. I can see lighter areas in the centre of the second photo.

Exciting stuff!

Kiron saw my active Sun message to the RASC Toronto Centre Yahoo!Group. Wished he could be at the CAO. And asked me to explain the term "limb." Oops. I was using geek speak. I explained limb, prominences, and filaments.
