1 hour time lapse of AR3270 on 4 April 2023

[Averton]

For the first time since December the seeing was consistent enough to try for a time lapse. Here is a 1 hour time lapse of AR3270 taken on 4 April 2023, starting at 00:25 UT (10:25am local time). Taken with K102 double stacked with a Solar Scout Quark and a Lunt 40mm etalon. ASI174MM camera. 10 second videos with a 20 second delay, giving 2 videos per minute. A total of 120 videos. Best 20 frames of each video stacked and sharpened.

Very nice animation! Was that some kind of ejection right at the end?

Thanks David :)


Yes it was the start of a small C class flare. Just photons.
It is a lucky dip when you setup for a time lapse, you are never sure what you are going to get.
