Solar Sunspot AR2887 captured today 28th October 2021. Seeing conditions average from the Mandurah area Western Australia.

A large solar flare measuring X1.0 was just observed around AR 2887 just a while ago so some of us may be in for a nice aurora soon, fingers crossed

Captured in SharpCap, Stacked in AutoStakkert 3, wavelets in RegiStax 6, edited in PaintDotNet. Resized about 50% larger.

Yes, the Ha network is showing that region becoming nice and active.

This page should constantly keep up to date with images.   An X class is quite a big one in solar terms.

Your image shows lots of fine detail but [forgive me for saying so] it is inverted.

I captured several large flares in H-alpha just south of AR2887 yesterday.
