Sun 6th Nov

Post by JohnW »

6th Nov (Australia). Managed to get one image of the AR 2781 today. This single exposure image was taken with a Canon 550d camera thru a Lunt 100 Ha scope. Taken thru light cloud and a rough atmosphere (I had to wait a few hours for a reasonable patch of sky). There is some flaring around this AR and you can also see AR 2780 in the upper right part of the pic. Thanks for viewing.

Update on AR 2781 Nov 6th. 2020
Report appeared on SpaceWeather.com...
So far, the strongest solar flare from AR2781 has been a C7-class explosion at 0022 UT on Nov. 5th. X-rays and UV radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a brief low-frequency radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean and Australia.
Mariners and ham radio operators in the region might have noticed signals fading, especially at frequencies below 10 MHz.
More C-class flares are almost guaranteed in the hours ahead, with a slight change of even stronger M-class flares.

7th Nov. Had to wait till 7th Nov to get a pic of this sunspot group at 540 nm. Single exposure again with Canon 550d. Looks like an interesting group.
Thanks for viewing, regards John W.
