Nice image, what an amazing prominence.

Does this mean aurora activity soon from this?

Splendid capture Charl..... we may have some clear spells tomorrow here in Northants so I will hopefully get a chance to get the scope out ?

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Alan, I'm not sure, but I think it depends on the solar wind and the direction the cme is pointing not sure proms have anything to do with auroras because there still being holded by the suns graverty. clear skys. charl.

It started out ok Charl but it’s turned for the worse. I decided to go out for a bike ride instead and the wind was so strong it reduced my average speed by 7 Kmph, I will have to delete the ride as my stats look bad now ?

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Naillk, your so kind mate. clear skys.  charl.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Shaun, your a brave man to ride in this wind, those bikes don't weigh much nowa days "my sons bike is carbon fiber you can lift it with 2 fingers", it must of been like sailing, well done. charl.

LoL I guess his bike is a road bike being so light, I wouldn’t dream of riding on the roads in these sort of winds. I only ride cross country these days as it’s safer and the views can be awesome ?

[xtreemchaos]

yes road race bike simler to what thay use in the tours, hes into extreme sports, mainly mountain races ,running and bikes, don't know where he gets it from I never done anything where you carnt drink coffee while doing it , big respect to you for doing cross country its not the easyist or safest bike racing type. charl.
