May 24, 2024, M-flares in Ha and CaK update: flare animation CaK

[LeoD]

Hi all,
I felt like I was out of the game in May, having missed so many amazing events in the sun, while trekking a couple of weeks in the Himalayas, where in addition it was almost constantly cloudy or I was in the clouds themselves))
Only on Friday I had normal imaging session. After looking at the floating prominence in Ca K, I missed the beginning of the M1.4 flare in AR3685, but then happened the next M1.2 there an hour later when I switched to Ha. Seeing was unstable, but there were enough moments to capture the flare on C11 with Quark and 174 camera at a scale of 0.10"/pix.
thanks for looking

Gorgeous Leo! Good excuse to miss the sun, I’ll settle for hiking the 7 hills of Cincinnati!

Stunning animation, Leo!

Fabulous animation Leo! I really should try another CaK animation again

Much appreciated, Arne and Warren!
Seeing is very challenging to obtain enough footage for hi-res animation in Ca, I was hoping while capture, but was pleasantly surprised at the end.
Pity I have a limit 50Mb per image at astrobin, there are some losses in details due to size reduction.

If you upgrade to Ultimate subscription then there is neither any limitation on image size or number of images.

Thank you for reminding an opportunity, Arne, I'll post more animations with less compromise

BTW how to insert astrobin previews directly here?
