Hi All,


It's been a long time for me to post anything, let alone be doing amateur astro....

Been retired since December, so hopefully I can start getting out more!


Anyway, since July, I've been practicing with my new (used) Lunt LS100THa and new PGR camera.


Discovered that I had captured the flare. The gif is terrible, I used some frames that I should have trashed (along with the far worse ones) but, it's my first flare, so I'm kind of jazzed up about it.

There's more solar images that I've taken between Jul and now in the Sun section (right arrow at top right or menu to the left of it) in case your interested.


Thanks for looking,

Paul
