Clear skies today, but the temp was 22 degrees with 20mph winds.  I wanted to grab an image from the sun quickly.  When I started capturing I realized that there was a faint but huge prominance visible in CaK.  When I finished my full sun image, I captured a close up and believed that the shape had changed in the short time, so I grabbed a few more images, until my hands had trouble operating the laptop. Once processed, I saw that I captured a CME in full swing.  Click the image for the animation of the 4 images in 5 minutes and an additional last image being 40 minutes later with no CME visible anymore.
