AR-3615 ribbon flare

Post by barnstorm »

This is the monster storm you may have been hearing about. AR-3615.

It has fired off several C/M-Class solar flares and covers an area about 8x the diameter of our planet Earth. Here we can see it lighting off a ribbon flair almost as long as its entire length. It has a beta-gamma-delta magnetic complexity which makes it perhaps the most complex magnetic storm in a decade or more.


Solar wind from these active storms is very high and a dozen M-Class flares have caused radio outages in different parts of the Earth.

This data was captured from a SolarMax-90 v1 Single stack, ASI-174 CCD camera and Hutech solar guider.

Very nice! I definitely like the coloration you have used. It adds to the " hot " look.
