AR2993, AR2994 & Surge Prom | HA, Cont | April 17th 2022

Post by MalVeauX »

Heya,


I got a break between some clouds with fair seeing to take a look at the new grouping of AR2993 & AR2994, it blew a huge flare this morning earlier when it was dark here, but it's still throwing off minor flares between the poles and watched a few develop and fade in a matter of 10 minutes. Great surge prominences coming out of the area when I was watching!

Seeing Conditions:

I had to dodge clouds all morning, but between clouds had some sub-arcsecond seeing.
