April 20th 2021 - The Sun is HIGH!

Post by Simon2940 »

I had an hour of good seeing this morning so i grabbed so more data. I should have done white light since AR12817 now has a large sunspot that is about to roll away from us. I spent the time to do an animation which can be seen here:

Also, did anyone catch the M Class flare at about 21:38 UTC 2021-04-19?
