AR2786 in High Res | HA & WL | Nov 25th 2020

Post by MalVeauX »

Hey all,

Seeing was a little better today, saw some sub-arc-second moments so I figured I'd gamble with the 8" and managed to get some data to present. AR2786 has a great plage and mottling going on with filaments like spider legs everywhere, lovely activity going on. A light bridge is forming so it's likely getting ready to start it's decay process, but it should still likely make the full transit of the face of the disc for us with it's gorgeous penumbra. Captured the photosphere in red wavelength and the chromosphere in HA.

Playing it safe, I also did some captures with the 150mm refractor in case things didn't work out and to get a wider FOV to include AR2785.

Around 09:41am to 09:47am, Eastern Time, AR2786 popped off a minor flare while I was doing a sequence. When I saw the bright bulge building up, I figured it would pop or something and it did. 5 minutes of real time compressed.

Marty,
Somehow I missed these. They are awesome. I agree the filaments radiating outwards from the spot does remind me of a spider. Araneus Thermonucleus!!

The flare was well captured too!
