Wow a lot of stuff is going on! 5/10/2024

Post by rigel123 »

It's getting tough to keep up with all of the fantastic posts and process all the stuff I'm catching lately, but I'm not complaining! From multiple X-class flares to huge CME's and Aurora in very southern localities it has been a major week!! What a maximum this is turning out to be! From yesterday, after I posted that floating prom, coronal rain animation I got to the first animation I captured when I was battling clouds all the way. When I first set up I noticed the bright flare at AR3664 and as it continued to brighten as I was capturing it I was sure it had to be an X-class. But just a "meager" M5.97! Only got 25 minutes on that one and then later, after the floating prom, I got 35 minutes of departing AR3663 which also put on a decent show. So here is the full disk showing all the fun stuff to try and decide what to focus on, and the two animations.

Great stuff. That M5.97 animation is particularly good - the AR and the proms all doing their thing in the same FOV!

Lovely images and animation. As you say it's tricky to keep on top of all of the wonderful posts at the moment! A good problem to have isn't it!
