Huge Solar Flare on 27 May 2023 Timelapse

970 single 16bit frames (1000 actual ones, but there were some clouds) with 20 seconds interval (circa 5.5 hours). Lunt LS60T + ASI 178MM.

CME starts at 0:19 (11:53 - 13:06 UT)

Postprocessing with Lightroom for enhancing shadows and contrast, export to 8bit PiPP for aligning the images and LRTimelapse for creating the video. PiPP did a better job in stabilizing than ImPPG.

Very impressed! I have never tried solar imaging. Did you know it was coming or were you just lucky?

Just luck - you can get hints of activity to come by following active regions but events like this are impossible to predict

It was pure luck. I just wanted to try timelapse and have seen the flare in postprocessing. It just lasted about an hour. If I knew it was coming I would have made a timelapse witth short video sequences per interval to get sharper pictures. 😄
