Flare in Calcium II K 12th May

Post by Stardust5858 »

Posting some images from the 12th. I think I caught a C1.5 flare in calcium II K. Of course I might be wrong but there is definitely a brightening within AR 2822 on the images taken at 09:37UT and 09:47UT the same time as the noted flare beginning at 09:15UT and ending 09:47UT

You got a good set here Ella, flares are easy to spot in CaK. What software are you using to sharpen?

Fine images, Nigella, congratulations. I always prefer the non-colorized CaK, but it's a matter of personal taste, of course.
