Hi all

Have fun

Very nice! I just finished imaging and did not see that at all in that region.

Hi Alexandra, Mark and Ken

thank you very much. It was just by hazard that I caught it during a tiny outreach with a neighbour. One tree is down :-) However it did cost us two sun glasses ;-)

Hi Walter:

I also observed the two ribon solar flare. It changed very quicky. Very interesting stuff.

These two images were taken about 15min apart. You can see the two ribon solar flare becoming more active.

I know now that I should have taken more images.... :unsure:

Here's a small animation gif (15min image 1 to image 3). Interesting stuff

Great additions!

Very interesting Pedro, it looks like the flare was generated each side of the neutral filament (2 ribbon flare). I don't see the filament disconnecting beforehand (unless that happened later).

Alexandra

Hi Alexandra:

I only detected the beginning of the twin flare. Walter image was taken latter (my animation was registerred in the morning around 11:00 UTC).

Hi Pedro

my movie was made, as you see in the pic, at 12.19 MEZ

Pedro · Post by **Pedro** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 10:37 pm

About one hour lh latter. Things change very quickly in the sun. I will be imaging again tomorrow. Very interesting stuff.

best regards

Hi Apollo

thank you very much. An intresting proposal, but that is not possible, because my wife has hung me already on to the wall (too much sunwork ;-) )
