The exciting small flare: a 7.6 C Class

Post by davidem27 »

Hello everyone!
I am trying to follow the recent solar activity as soon as my brief moments of free time conceeds me to catch our Sol.

So, as soon as I had a free moment, yesterday I concluded the solar shooting session with the detail, obtained with the Skywatcher 120ED.
Mounted etalon, front rejection filter and the camera, I immediately noticed an intense area near the AR 2995.
The Spaceweather Live app said a Class C flare was underway which, at its maximum, reached a magnitude of 7.6.

So this is the maximum:

It is interesting to compare the same area in the other line, the Calcium one, where the supergranulation gave a pure spectacle:
