Post M flare disc - 8 March

Post by mattwastell »

Hi all
It has been a while since I was out last - one month to be precise - nice to see a sunny morning when time is on my side.
I was about one hour late to see the M class flare peak (M9) - I guess an M10 would be an X? I did get the fading though.
Usual stuff with LS60 & DMK51.
Have a great Sunday all!

Excellent! To not observe for a month and then capture this is a real bonus!

Hi Matt,

Nice captures there. Maybe you will catch a big flare the next time.
