Caught a flare on AR3038 21 June 2022

[Averton]

These two images were taken just 3 minutes apart and clearly show flaring from AR 3038. The GONG site at location Learmonth shows it nicely between frames 00:03 and 00:13 UT and then it just continues crackling away for hours.

The same images inverted which highlights the proms and filaments a little more.

Absolutely stunning shots. Certainly lots going on at the moment. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Thanks David. Busy times on the sun at the moment. Great if you're into solar imaging :)

Nice capture of the flaring Peter and Clare. Too cloudy up here. Regards John W.

Yes, stunning capture. You must feel very satisfied. Thanks for sharing.

Agree with the others, great captures and images, awesome stuff happening on Sol currently, the filaments and prominences are spectacular and you've shown them well.

[Averton]

Thanks John. Pity about the cloud. Unfortunately we've had cloud all day here as well. We had been hoping to catch a look at the very large filament near AR3032 as it approached the western limb. It looks like the weather hasn't really stopped us because on the GONG site it is just getting there now at 6.15PM so it looks like the northern hemisphere folk will get to see it.

Thanks Steve, yes we are quite happy with our new double stack set up.

Thanks Jeff. Yes, its been a great week for solar nuts :) Hopefully plenty more to come before solar maximum.

Thanks Derek. Unfortunately we didn't get to see that large filament when it reached the limb. It has now exited stage right. We have been stuck in cloud for the last couple of days so the best we can offer you is an image taken by an experienced solar imager on CN.

Glad you have been enjoying our updates. We will happily keep posting more when the weather decides to co-operate :)
