A small flare

Post by at dusk »

Hi.
Beautiful flare this morning. Unfortunately it didn't last much and I started recording a bit too late. Anyway, I think it is one of the most beautiful things that we can behold in our star
Regard, Rafa

Impressive looks like the middle of spot was flaring ad well, something that I've never observed with clarity. In my short experience flares usually originate from bright areas around the spots

Excellent catch Rafa. Better late than not at all. Looks to come from the edge of the Umbra.
