Friday Sun 29th April 2022

Post by Carbon60 »

A few from this morning. The seeing was excellent (for my location), which makes a nice change as often this is the limiting factor.

My usual calcium K and hydrogen alpha FDs with a few closer Ha images of the main features. I got lucky with a flare on the FDs, but missed it on the closer views. It was all a bit of a rush between the sun hitting the drive and packing up ahead of a conference call at 9:00 am.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice captures, just the images I would have liked to take yesterday, if I had not been clouded out! And that's one of the great things about SC - you can almost always look at someone else's recent images if the weather at your own location keeps you from seeing the sun.

Regards,

Frank

Stu,
Your imaged flare yesterday morning looks like it took place in AR12996. AR12994 now on the limb has had several flares, mostly M class this Saturday morning. Hopefully you are imaging.

Thanks, James. I was imaging this morning, but didn't see any significant flare activity.

Stu,
I just caught an X1.13 flare on the western limb associated with AR12994. The flare itself was mostly over the limb and barely visible but the surge prom it generated was impressive!! Fortunately all of those M class warnings got me prompted to set up a bit earlier than I usually do or I would have missed it.

I have a busy day planned. Mowing and going to my grandson's baseball game so it'll be late before I post the report. All notes and SDO, KSO images have been saved from the event.

Stay tuned!

James

P.S. Your mornings are 4 hours ahead of mine!
