Oct 28th Flare Session - 1st Images

Post by MapleRidge »

Good day everyone...

I was not aware of the flare yesterday when I arrived home for lunch, and with a lot of cirrus cloud of variable density blowing through I only planned to grab a full disk set o of images. Once I looked at the sun through the LS80T solar scope I surprised to see a lot of flare activity around AR2887...I though the new AR on the eastern limb was to be the watch to watch for :lol:

I did capture the full disk images, which are posted below:

With 6 AR's and one flaring as well as a nice collection of proms and filaments, I decided to try these with the Orion 130ED modded double stack scope. The brightness varied considerably as he clouds drifted past, but I think most of the captures came out ok. I have to go through them all yet, and have only processed two of AR2887 taken with short and long exposures to show the activity. Both were taken at approximately 16:48UT:

I will post the balance of the images later today or on the weekend when I have some free time.

Wow!!! well done Brian, what timing :bow :hamster: I love the image with the lightning streak through it :hamster:
Are these 15:48 or 16:48 UTC Brian? the X class was at 15:35 and yet these images look like they are the flare and not post flare an hour and a half later.

Well done Brian! :bow

Some high quality images. With far more extensive flaring than my earlier capture.
The sun would have been gone here, for a couple of hours, judging by your timing.
My last capture was at 14.12 [UTC] With no visible flaring at that time.
12.50 [UTC] was the last sign of AR2887 obvious flaring amongst my captures.
Some minor flaring, well to the south, at 14.08 [UTC]

Thanks to all for your comments and thanks...always very much appreciated :bow

Alexandra, the time of capture was 12:48 EDT, which if I converted correctly would be +4hrs to UT/GMT or 16:48UT. Does that make sense?

Based on the SpaceWeather report the main flare occurred at 15:35 UT, so I am over an hour past that time....likely catching the end of it.
