Hi all
Thanks for your kind words regarding my recent posts - I do them for me but it is nice in the sharing!
Today I embarked on a project to capture a solar flare (I have not done this). I stated at 8am and took images every 20 minutes of the Active Region 1160, 1161 and 1162 hoping to see the brightening of a flare....alas I did not. I still compiled the images from the 2.5 hour project.
I found it surprising that there was very little evidence of any change!
I guess I will need to spend more time at the scope and have some luck!
