-    * While it is not possible to use TAO over the solar limb (or for neighboring prominences), during the 2025 campaign, tests have been carried to observe prominences while TAO was focused on granulation in an offset disc region of THEMIS FOV. Even though the TAO isoplanatic region is located far from the targeted prominence, TAO nonetheless provided significant improvements, as shown in the [[science:imofmonth#August 2025|August THEMIS image of the month]].
