Little Flare Anim from May, 2015

[Luke]

Hi all,

Thanks to another poor weekend, I caught up on stacking some old files and dug out this little animation, which spans about five to ten seconds, where I was lucky to catch a bit of flaring starting up.

Thanks for looking, Luke

Luke, I demand more animations at this resolution!

Great work.

Nice one. Not had sun long enough to do any annimations recently

[Luke]

Thanks, everyone, appreciate the comments

Dave, seeing was definitely better than one from December that I also stacked over the weekend  

Craig, I hope we finally get some nice sunny weekends soon! This animation business under UK skies seems optimistic at times

Luke, I think your processing times are in keeping with the physical properties of the Sun - the light takes thousands of years to reach the surface, minutes to reach your camera and then thousands of hours to reach the surface again

Fortunately when it does reach the surface it is as spectacular as this animation

minutes to reach your camera and then thousands of hours to reach the surface again

You're not wrong, I have just been playing around with images from the partial eclipse!! I finally got around to stacking them, trying to cope with the moving silhouette!

Almost volcanic, fantastic Luke.

[Pete Presland]

Very nice.

Great catch!
