Before the G5 Solar storm took the world by storm (get it?), I caught the progenitor, AR3664 in action.

Using your cute kids to emotionally blackmail new subscribers ? Perfect move - I salute you good sir. Also puppies are an excellent source of new subs ( and cute girls in their swimming togs, but that's another day's work). Thanks again, Dylan.

@mikehardy8247 Месяц назад

Thanks for the h heads-up 😊. I got some video and stills of the sunspot today. 5-10-2024, and TL video and stills of a spectacular aurora. I'm in bottle 9. And it was still spectacular! 20 or so years ago I saw one at my same home. Probably less LP. Being able to capture it was super fun😂. Having the tech at my fingertips is awsome.

@meloney Месяц назад

This sunspot gave me the most breathtaking aurora I've ever witnessed over germany. It was mesmerizing and so bright, one could easily read newspaper under it. All those colours it produced are something I'll never forget. Thank you AR3664 for the G5 storm you produced this night.

@DylanODonnell Месяц назад

Wow!

@meloney Месяц назад

@@DylanODonnell just a few minutes ago it produced an X5.89 Flare. I'm waiting for SOHO/LASCO imagery to be updated, but i can already see another CME from an earlier eruption. This may not be the end of AR3664 :) I did a short video of it, it was that bright. Can't wait for the hundreds of pictures i took! Especially one where a bright fireball went right through the Aurora.

@davepastern Месяц назад

@@meloney wow! Does this mean an extension to aurora?

@meloney Месяц назад

@@davepastern yes likely. We captured a partial- but potential full Halo CME from that Sunspot with an earth directed component. It should arrive today (12) later in the evening (europe) or early/somewhere around the 13. That sunspot is a banger with big flares and eruptive CMEs :) I have a few shorts how the aurorae looked. It was really bright. I might upload the CME later too. We are essentially not yet done with geomagnetic storming! And all of that when i still have to work on all the hundreds of photos i took... :)

@Philippsalzgeber Месяц назад

Fantastic images of solar flares and sun spots. ".....Although X is the last letter, there are flares more than 10 times the power of an X1, so X-class flares can go higher than 9. The most powerful flare measured with modern methods was in 2003, during the last solar maximum, and it was so powerful that it overloaded the sensors measuring it. The sensors cut out at X28."

Oh man I was hoping you were going to make a vid about it. Wanted to look but my solar filter still isn't here yet, so I just squinted when I looked through the scope. It was cool but I caught my hair on fire. Will bring a fire extinguisher next time. Awesome capture tho! Those prominences are massive

@ohwell2790 Месяц назад

Yes the sun is really active right now (5/10/24 ) and the sun spots are in clusters with 12 or more sun spots grouped in ovals and others. Using a little 80 MM Celestron Powerseeker ED $80 scope from e-bay and solar filter and 12.5mm eye piece on my old Meade XL70 EQ mount. High desert north west Arizona. Have fun. Great videos

Hey Dylan! If you would like to save more power, do not use the dc/ac inverter. You are losing at least 15% of the energy by the conversion process as you turn the DC power to AC then back again to DC. Skip it and get a few more hours out of your bank
